Sistine Chapel

Here I sit under a sky of color
Amazed at the symbolism above
Surely these painters inspired by God
Represented His everlasting love

Curtains surround to bring warmth
Colors so bright and divine
I have arrived-I have made it
For the chance to see such beauty if mine

The life of Moses and of Christ
On display for all the world to see
Surely the gospel is rolling forth
I stand in awe in what surrounds me

For centuries the Popes have lived here
They have commissioned such great art
For me it is a moment of honor
I will capture and hold in my heart
