In The Likeness of God

Creation so beautiful, a wonder to behold,

The gift of life, so glorious and gold;

In the likeness of God it's all perfect unity,

As is friendship in the church and the community.

.

In the likeness of God we know it's all right,

As in kindness and loveliness we seek the true light;

For life is found at the heart of it all,

Whether you're big or little, tall or you're small.

.

In the likeness of God we work and we play,

To succeed in this life by night or by day;

With music and money there is much to address,

As he answers our prayers and has to fix the big mess.

.

In the likeness of God there's letters and words,

In amongst all these lines they are better than birds;

Or ants and rice when I'm starting to get bored,

That answers twice and doubles the reward.

.

In the likeness of God it's just what will be,

As he talks and he listens to the little ones like me;

Look to the future where surely God must be there,

Not knowing what I'll be wearing and simply not where.

.

In the likeness of God I'll finish up this rhyme,

And hope that my tomorrow will be plentiful with time;

Now the moment is upon us and the minute is at hand,

As if heavenward I travel to be rich, blessed and grand.

.

Signed,

I wish I knew exactly.
