Poem Artwork


IF it were not for the USE of our fingers

IF it were not for PRECIOUS time that lingers

 

IF it were not for the ROOF over our homes

IF it were not for the LAND that we roam

 

IF it were not for CHALLENGES and STRIFE

IF it were not for the promise of ETERNAL LIFE

 

IF it were not for the GRACE of GOD

IF it were not for the SOIL and the SOD

 

IF it were not for AGAPE LOVE

IF it were not for the HEAVENS ABOVE

 

IF it were not for my FAITHFUL FRIENDS

IF it were not for the circle of LIFE without end

 Amen

We would not ponder nature's truly wondrous gifts.
