Sky Blue Pink

Sun going down
leaving a pink crown
in the sky behind the hill
where now sky-blue pink spills.

Sky lit up with pink
as the sun sinks
ending another day
with sky-blue pink rays.

Minute by minute
the Creator's palette
colors and paints
sky-blue pink.

Watch now as it dries
high up in the sky;
flushed with pink
sky-blue pink winks.

When you wink
sky-blue pink
is gone -
so long.

Dusk has turned into night
after a brief twilight
when sky-blue pink
briefly winked.

Next time you see sky-blue pink
take a minute to watch it sink
forecasting tomorrow like a mirror
as today's sun slowly disappears.

Sky-blue pink is a  mirror
that tomorrow will be clear.
Blue skies delight
at first light.

Though gone in a wink
the sky in sky-blue pink
casts a rosy glow
wherever it goes.

Like wearing rose-colored glasses
wherever it touches or passes,
sky-blue pink
makes one think.

What if we looked at life through rose-colored glasses?
What if our attitude was one of gratitude vs.
grumbling and fretting,
complaining and stressing.

What if we counted our blessings
instead of daily stressing?
Wouldn't life seem better
and a little sweeter?

Doesn't stressing get you down?
Aren't you seen wearing a frown?
Did it benefit in the end
to daily stress to no end?

Daily put on your rose-colored glasses
and count your blessings as the day passes.
When you have an attitude of gratitude,
you'll find a positive change in your attitude.

When evening comes, you say,
'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,'
and in the morning,
'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red.'
Matthew 16:2-3
