"How does man express God's glory and light?
How does he praise God's strength and might?
with glass and stone prayers expressing God's worth,
man created a heavenly city on earth.
The men how they toiled year after year,
masons, carpenters, artists, and engineers,
their passion, patience, persistence, and mirth,
helped them create a heavenly city on earth.
columns, vaults, buttresses, spires and towers,
directed eyes heavenward expressing God's power,
bright painted walls depicting Christ's birth,
were parts of this heavenly city on earth.
sparkling glass windows where stories were told,
to illiterate people making God's story unfold,
the lost received insight, hope and rebirth,
because of this heavenly city on earth.
silver crosses, jeweled boxes, lovingly created,
illuminated manuscripts elaborately decorating,
pilgrims converged from places like Perth,
to this heavenly city on earth.
this treasure of faith and center of life,
in medieval cities teeming with strife,
was a symbol of the church's self worth,
man's creation; his heavenly city on earth."
this was my poem that i had to present to my humanities class today!!!....it went better than i had expected!! haha
