Close To Heaven Poem by Marilyn Lott

Nothing seems closer to heaven
Than a beautiful sweet sunset
The touch of God’s sturdy hand
Seems as close as you can get

A pallet of subtle colors
Sometimes streak across the sky
Or brilliant vibrant shades
As you kiss the day goodbye

I think God is looking down
Smiling at what he’s created
And you know that He is proud
As His splendor is clearly stated

And the reflection in the water
Is like a look into our hearts
Are we peaceful and serene
Or would we like another start

So at the end of a busy day
Enjoy the priceless sunset
Because the evening brings us
As close to heaven as we can get!
