"God, I looked at the world today,
Saw all the wonders that You've brought;
Yet, so many say, 'There's no God,'
That is beyond my wildest thought.
"How can they see all Your wonders,
And not see they're gifts that You've sent?
All the beauty that is our world,
Some say, 'It was an accident?'
"The vastness of the Milky Way,
The beauty of new fallen snow;
If all that isn't proof enough,
Just look at a child's peaceful glow.
"Your wonders abound everywhere,
But some of us still cannot see;
Created by a great big bang?
No! You're plan is quite plain to me."
This is why God gave us free will,
So that we can all make a choice;
But first, we must open our hearts,
To clearly hear the sound of His voice.
In the rain, the wind and the thunder,
And the songs of the birds in the sky;
If only we'll just give God the chance,
He'll answer our questions of how and why.
But that chance will not last forever,
All of our days are numbered you see;
The time of choice grows nearer each day,
So, why not come to Heaven with me?
Give God a chance, He won't let us down,
The proof is all around us, you know;
Eternal peace He offers to all,
He simply asks that true faith we do show.
Thank you for sharing such caring words Paul as we all need to be forgiving and accepting of others. We need to believe and then we will see and appreciate all that is given.
How beautiful your words and faith, Paul. For those who doubt, we must love them enough to show them the "why"...as you did with your "Wonders..."

FANTASTIC...A WONDERFUL WRITE! VERY INSPIRATIONAL AND FILLED WITH SUCH GREAT PHRASES, IMAGERY AND RHYME. THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
A beautiful poem. Many do see god in nature, they simply do not see god in those who claim to be his people. Therefore, these "unbelievers" hold to a different definition of god.
Paul, I loved this!I tell ya I am going to have to stop saying this has got to be one of your best. You keep out doing yourself!Seriously though- this is SO good, and filled with your wonderful and deep faith. Thank you.
