Love Poem to God: by Bruce Mundhenke

I Love You 

I love sunrises and sunsets, 

and I love a starry sky. 

I love a yellow moon, 

low on the curtain of night. 

I love a sky so blue 

it makes the sun more bright. 

I love lightning and the thunder, 

and wind that bends the trees, 

and I love the trees in every season, 

even when they have no leaves. 

And I love candles in a darkened room 

and the tear brought forth from love. 

I love laughter when it’s from the heart, 

not hurting anyone. 

I love the beauty to be seen 

in a single drop of dew. 

But greater by far than all these things, 

I love You.
