A SENSE OF WONDER

Poem for Today - Saturday - November 29, 2014

GRANDFATHER

Grandfather took us out

Long after dark

And set his telescope up on the lawn

And showed us how to look through the lens.

We saw the mountains of the moon!

We saw the rings around Saturn!

We saw the stars in the Milky Way –

Too many to count!

“See,” Grandfather said.
“what wonders God has made!”

And then he hugged each of us

And said, “And you are wondrous too!”
