{faith} hope like a child

a fish jumps

the sky brings reflecting trees to life

ripples on glassy water

and snowy peaks reaching toward heaven

glimpses, nature's appetizers

just a taste of eternity

but really just enough beauty to keep our hearts astir

to send our eyes upward

to send a longing deep within

our insides complete

connected with creation

with the One who made this all

children on Christmas Eve

lit up eyes, filled with anticipation

so expectant, so tuned in

be like little children, He says

heaven in our hearts

thinking about it all the time
