I like this poem which I had read last week and want to share as a sister singing for her brother

My Brother, My Best Friend.

I feel so alone,
and so empty.
You were my best friend,
my baby brother.
I feel so guilty,
I should of listened to you.
I have wished upon a million stars,
but not one of them has brought you back.
I wanna believe it's all a dream,
but its not.
It's reality,
this is the way it's going to stay.


If only I we could be together again,
like we used too.
We were together everyday,
no matter what.
I stuck up for you,
and you stuck up for me.
I was always right by your side,
nothing could break what we had.
No one will ever understand how I feel,
nobody will ever feel my pain.
I have to wake up every morning,
knowing I could of helped you.
The days are tough,
everyday after school I would chill with you.
Now, I just come home everyday,
sit, think, and feel the guilt.
Someday we will be together again.
I Miss You Baby Boy

For the Beauty of the Earth


    For the beauty of the earth
    For the glory of the skies,
    For the love which from our birth
    Over and around us lies:
    Refrain:

        Lord of all, to Thee we raise
        this our joyful hymn of praise.

    Alternative refrain:

        Christ, our God, to Thee we raise
        This, our sacrifice of praise.

    For the beauty of each hour
    Of the day and of the night,
    Hill and vale and tree and flow'r
    Sun and Moon and stars of light

    Refrain

    For the joy of human love,
    Brother, sister, parent, child.
    Friends on earth and friends above
    For all gentle thoughts and mild.

    Refrain

    For each perfect gift of Thine
    To our race so freely given.
    Graces human and divine
    Flow'rs of earth and buds of heav'n.

    Refrain

    Alternative last verse:
    For thy church that evermore
    Lifteth holy hands above,
    Offering up on every shore
    Her pure sacrifice of love.

Sky luminance and colors

Light from the sky is a result of the scattering of sunlight, which results in a blue color perceived by the human eye. On a sunny day Rayleigh scattering gives the sky a blue gradient — dark in the zenith, light near the horizon. Light that comes in from overhead encounters 1/38th of the air mass that light coming along a horizon path encounters. So, fewer particles scatter the zenith sunbeam, and therefore the light remains a darker blue. The blueness is at the horizon because the blue light coming from great distances is also preferentially scattered. This results in a red shift of the far lightsources that is compensated by the blue hue of the scattered light in the line of sight. In other words, the red light scatters also; if it does so at a point a great distance from the observer it has a much higher chance of reaching the observer than blue light. At distances nearing infinity the scattered light is therefore white. Far away clouds or snowy mountaintops will seem yellow for that reason; that effect is not obvious on clear days, but very pronounced when clouds are covering the line of sight reducing the blue hue from scattered sunlight. This can be observed at the bottom part of the picture on top of the article.
