Heaven Knows

“Heaven Knows”
  Heaven hears the joy and knows the sound of pain.
  Heaven gives its recompense and sends it down in rain.
  The sky obeys this notion and holds the clouds in its sphere.
  Swimming in the air, the clouds stir and waver from pier to pier.
  Heaven hears our prayers and keep them in jars as light.
  When gathered up they are placed in the sky and shines as stars at night.
  Knowing this the moon in gratitude obeys and takes a stand
  by giving all its shine to the dark so to share in this glorious band.
  Heaven knows our sorrows and holds them deep in the earth.
  Until soften enough to take place in the earth's yearly rebirth.
  Knowing this Mother Nature burst into attention each spring
  Reminding us of God's promises while housing the birds that sing.
  Heaven knows the kind of suffering that lives in the world.
  Heaven forms a weapon of innocence in every little boy and girl.
  Knowing this the authority of God is placed on us all.
  Giving shelter to the spirit so as not to crack or fall.
