Call Me Simple

You may call me simple, but I worship God, This world proof enough He exists, But when you add stars, although you think me odd, This truth's not one my heart resists. It's clear to me, truly, creation's not mine, Though maybe we color the mix. Do you claim your talents are all your design, Just sample of your bag of tricks? My ego won't go there, humility's gain, For I praise a Will beyond dreams, A God who can truly have thought in His 'brain,' And universe echoes His schemes. And all of creation reveals that He cares - Give thanks that His pleasure survives, Though we may project on Him human nightmares, He still finds His bliss in our lives. Long Tooth April 1, 2016

Everything is topsy turvy in this world, so don't worry about namecalling. The so-called ones who worship themselves are the truly simple, afterall not one of us is responsible for creation, nature, the skies or anything else that has life. Excellent poem. It's refreshing for someone to acknowledge the source of all good.

Life is being about something and it is complicated to understand the hypocrisy of our system that give to some and deprive others. It helps to know God in unrighteous times of unaccepted creativity and our worth.

Excellent poem. One of my favorite hymns is "This Is My Father's World." Your poem brought it back to my mind. I have been a lot of places and have seen and felt humbled by what God has created and have seen what we humans have mucked up. Oliver

Creation and the art of God are interrelated matter. Yes, he is the doer of everything.God is the biggest of all .God is the smallest of all. Man can realise him but cannot define, I believe so. Nice poem enjoyed much.

The search for faith within each soul is one each must make. To believe in God is all we have. Without him, what else is there? Love your reaffirmation.

Very True all things point to his/ her exsistance. MAN MADE RELIGIONS have tried to dictate how we recieve and obey. The way we fellowship and become good stewarts of this planet is also proof that most do not a clue as to his purpose for our purpose.
