As I gaze upon a sunset
My memories go afar
Long ago before I was conceived
The start of life
The start of a beginning
All begins with a thought
Just like this sunset
I know a Creator had a thought and it came to pass
When something comes to pass
There has to be a design
An intelligent complex in place
A spectacular DNA functions behind the scenes
A Mind created these array of colors for this sunset
Each precise location for each color
A bright mind can create magic, beauty and continuity
But the most profound thing of this is its wonder
Like a wonder of a child who notices
The simplicity of life
And doesn’t take for granted
Like roll-off-your-chair belly laughter
The swelling of your stomach to the point where it hurts to breathe
They experience laughter and play like it’s the first time they ever undertook it
It always surprises the child how much energy he or she has throughout the day
Returning to this sunset
It’s just like this child
Filled with absolute awestruck wonder
We too, can be like this child
But first we must humble ourselves
Humble ourselves to the point where we accept, maybe we don’t know
Everything about this large exquisite universe of ours
Just maybe
Humble ourselves
To the point of amazement
Amazement is where all the splendor will begin
Just like this childlike sunset
