Star Gazing

As we gaze at the blazing of the stars
Engulfed in beauty from our moving cars
They gaze at us and wonder at the mirth
Of sacred weddings and supernatural birth.
Each takes his ancient constellation seat
With care not to destroy us with his heat
And watches as the miracle of life
Upends the tears of momentary strife.
Each sings the joyful song of the creation
Over the birth of every new-found nation.
All saw the fall of man, the rise of Rome
All saw Christ turn a stable to his home.
This world is not a stage, we are not players
Our work is real beneath the gazing suns
We wait with folded hands and fervent prayers
Till Christ return to take us as God's sons.
