for my loved ones | painting the sky.

i wonder if God had you in mind

when He painted the sky.

if He saw the light He placed within you

as each brushstroke graced the canvas.

if the warmth He embedded in your heart

is the same warmth that He infused in the air

as the seasons change.

when He arranged the stars, were you there too?

the glow of the moon a replica of the

glow of your spirit.

lighting the world with inspiration. hope. on the

darkest nights.

the vast. never-ending. mystery that is the universe;

a reflection of every pathway your mind holds.

a joy to explore. to learn. to witness.

He knew you before He formed you.

so when He began painting the sky,

i believe He thought of you.
