Skyscraper

My gaze in awe from structures eyed

rising tall above my yielded crown

with neck in hinge and back aligned

now bracing spine lest tumble down

For rising far in cloud filled sky

the scrapers engineers did vie

their feats of steel and fabric glass

aggregate forms to decades last

Intimidate my smallness there

these massive buildings grouped in care

Those metal bounds rose faraway

my tiny frame beneath their sway

And looked with I a hopeless pain

perspective small with none to gain

relief this metal mountain range

above my terror guilted plague

For twas my troubles haunting me

removed relief from constant peace

and daunted by these monstrous knolls

tow'ring o'er my shame-filled soul

And thus my head hung deeply low

and managed need too great to know

for problems far too large for me

proper solutions to set me free

When sudden grasp within my site

a souring plane flew o'er my plight

and seated there a different scene

while looking down on building preen

Twas then my thoughts began relate

these structures here of ill-failed fate

of problems, troubles, hassles too

were quite much smaller from their view

So position I must need refine

from flight above construction line

now looking down on buildings small

from high perspective much less than tall

And Master Engineer creates

constructs this world beneath His pate

so puts together the yielded plan

that sole with Him I'll make my stand

Who sits much higher than them all

and erects the structures that seem so tall

from His perspective be much less role

to see with His eyes thus my goal

What were these structures oh so tall

but like my problems oh so small

twas my perspective that looked above

now focused toward abounding love

Thus shall another step I take

and worry less upon my fate

and should my troubles building tall

remember God above them all
