MEERKAT SUNRISE

The older meerkat led the way,
The young ones followed close,
To see the dawn of one more day
And yonder light that glows...
That great-eyed god without a name,
That circle in the sky,
That sent out heat, yet without flame,
That glides so slowly by...

The older meerkat stood up straight,
The young ones copied, too,
In awe, as each was forced to wait,
As light from darkness grew...
And there it was, the sunrise shown,
As if like burning gold,
As if to say, 'You're not alone!
Live life and live it bold!'

It wasn't just another dawn,
They had a friend above,
Of each new danger to forewarn,
By sharing light and love...
They knew not God like humans can,
Yet they walked in His light,
The faithful trust God has a plan
For all things in His sight...
