Poems

Contemplation
by

Jacklynn MacKenzie

I love walking Morien Sandbar each morn,
Looking down toward Morien Bay -
Watching the sun peep over the horizon,
At the dawn of another day.
To see the sunbeams skipping
Across the blue-green sea,
To take a moment to contemplate
This beauty God has given me.

Anyone who has walked along
the sand beside the sea,
Must surely believe in a Higher Power,
Wouldn't you agree?
For, who other than God
could form a shell so dainty,
or a rock so smoothe and nice?
Who but God could fashion a starfish,
Or a sand dollar, so precise?

How can you pick up a handful of sand,
Without it causing you to wonder -
How can God be so knowledgeable and wise
To know the very number
Of every tiny grain of sand
that line the beaches of our land?
It's something that I contemplate,
But can't fully understand!

Then I recall the passage
in the Bible where I read;
God knows the very number
of the hairs upon our head.
As I gaze out upon the water
Lapping up against the shore,
I feel God's presence around me,
I feel my faith restored.
