When I was just a little girl,

stretched out amidst a field of hay.

My eyes wide open to the sky,

on a warm summer day in May.

What strange things I began to see,

the clouds above me changing shape.

Sculpting to look like animals.

yet I see a man in a cape.

Is that What God looks like I thought.

with the sun shimmering behind,

Arms slowly moving, stretching out,

is it the cloud or in my mind.

It doesn't really matter though,

because I said a little prayer.

I know God's watching over me,

in cloud like form, or in the air.
