Shine, shine, shine

Mary Jo Beebe

Have you ever seen
A big, dark cloud
Covering the sun?

And all at once,
A ray of light
Shines through

As if to say,
Happy day!
No cloud can hide me.

Just that way
No clouds of trouble
Can hide God's child.

You're like a ray of sunshine
Always at one
With your Father-Mother God.

And safe in
His protecting care—
In truth, always happy, healthy, perfect.

So see those cloud thoughts
As nothing—having no place or power—
And shine, shine, shine.*

Mary Jo Beebe

* See Isa. 60:1.
