The Light I Follow

God is like a candle; he provides warmth and light. 
He helps us see the right. 
Though he shines brightly, it is easy to get lost in the dark. 
If we don’t follow his light, we will miss the mark. 
You can feel God anywhere, especially in nature. 
He’s found in every creature, 
In the whispering of the trees, 
And the buzzing of the bees. 
I try my best to show gratitude 
Through my voice and attitude. 
On my knees I pray 
To show my gratitude in a thankful way.
