Gifts From God

Gifts From God When God created man and woman He gave us the ability to question To learn To think for ourselves To know right from wrong To love Over time we have forgotten We have forgotten What God wants us to know We have to remember how to ask How to make our own decisions What is right What is wrong And how to tell the difference We have to learn again how to love How to love Him How to love every being on this planet How to be human

Edward, I must confess I had problems trying to follow your "train of thought," and the repetitions were cumbersome. Sorry "controversy find so unkind."

I like the first six lines of this piece in particular. I think God gave us a brain to think, and too many folks just soak up whatever their spiritual leader tells them. You have expressed very well "how to be human." Thanks for sharing!
