I am but the moon
sitting in the midst of darkness
If there be any light you see
do not wrongly attribute it to me
For the light shining is but a reflection
of the SON displaying hints of His glory thru me
Like the moon in the night sky
I have no light of my own
Instead like a moon I cast the light
of only what I’m shown

Wanda, did you write this? It’s beautiful! And I love the photo – the perfect complement to the poem.
Yes, Lord, may I be like the moon – a reflection of the Son!
GOD BLESS!
Wanda says
Yes I did write it. Actually scribbled out the words during Sunday’s service. I wanted to capture those those thoughts before they got swept away.

I really love this. It is a great reminder to start this week. God is shining through us. Shine on, God; shine on.
Wanda says
May He be ever brighter in and thru you may friend.

Hi Wanda, wow, what a beautiful poem and such a great picture to compliment it. Yes, the light we reflect is not our own, and I want the light I reflect to be the light of the Father.
God bless

Good Morning Wanda!
What a gorgeous photo, and a still, reflective poem. You are so talented! I love that image of the moon, just like us. Reflecting his light. You sure do that.
Good to see you again! From A Little R and R,
