The Mirror of the Universe

by Rev. Jeff Byrd

In the vast expanse of cosmic light,
Where stars are born and dreams take flight,
There lies a truth, both pure and clear,
The Universe reflects us, year by year.

Each thought we hold, each word we speak,
A ripple in the cosmic creek,
Returning to us, pure and true,
The energy we once let through.

When we give with hearts of grace,
With love and joy, our soul's embrace,
The Universe, in kind, replies,
With gifts that fill both heart and skies.

Not merely gold or worldly gain,
But richness born beyond the vein,
The spirit’s depth, connections wide,
The joy of purpose by our side.

For life is more than what we see,
It’s what we give, it’s who we be.
In every act of love, we find,
The mirror of the Universe, kind.

So let us give, let kindness flow,
Let joy and love in us grow,
For in this dance, we all partake,
The mirrored path we choose to make.

And as we walk this path of light,
The Universe reflects it bright,
Amplified and multiplied,
Our love and joy, in life, abide.
