Nightfall/Poem/Marian Jones

Nightfall 

I sit and watch from my window
as the stars come out at night,
Sparkling against a black velvet sky
filling the world with light.

I sit and watch, and I wonder
how can this miracle be?
The light from the sun has gone
then this magic performance we see.

Somewhere high in the Heavens
God's hand is changing the view.
I bow to His mighty power
the wondrous things He can do.

I sit and watch from my window,
God's beautiful work I survey;
My soul is touched by His presence
when night welcomes the end of the day.
