In a black colored night,
I am the star who drowns out the darkness,
the diamond who lets the night
see her beauty...

On the days of angry wind,
I am the tree,
the lonely tree,
still standing tall
even when her leaves all fall...

In a day of burning sunshine,
I am the rain drop
who reveals
a rainbow-colored sky
full of wonderful hues...

Look deep enough to find
what God chose to leave behind-
a tiny miracle in a darkened sky,
a inch of wonder when branches are bare,
a fingerprint of grace in a shower of color...

This is the beauty of my life.
