Sunrise in Reed City, Michigan

Sunrise in Reed City Michigan by Ramona Seath-Lubke

The big ball of fire behind

The silhouette of trees,

Raised up its head and

Greeted the earth with

all its warmth, brightness and energy.

Its ray colored the sky with

red, pink, purple, blue and orange.

Signaled to the beloved people

The hope of a new day.

  Yes, I thought it was fire, but it was the biggest ball of fire – the sun!

    I’ve seen this once on the prairie and I hoped to catch it the other night but I guess it was just a one time or rare things. It is just amazing you caught that

Great poem, Miriam!! Love the use of the word “beloved”. I say to myself in front of the mirror, “I am the blessing of knowing I am Beloved of God.” Thanks for the reminder. Sending YOU so many blessings, and much loving. ~Debbie xoxoxo
