Looking out the glass I see
the sky of the earth,
glowing, lovely.

The stars in the valley
(not in the heavens)
shine and twinkle below me.

The sun on the water,
which has ripples, not rays,
glows even brighter.

This beauty, however,
is man-made, not
designed by Nature.

And who would dare compete,
with that goddess whose
creation was already complete?

Who would ever take away,
any of her children,
any day?

Or who thinks they can
add too this earth that
was made in Heaven?

Some day the stars in the valley
will go out and darkness
will surround endlessly.

But, the stars in the sky, I say,
in all their unsung glory,
will never go away.
