The Perfect Painting

*The Perfect Painting* On a canvas like none other I began to sculpt all of mankind I began with a single piece of clay and a thought A thought of love… I desired love of unprecedented proportions So I created the most unparalleled piece of art I created man… In my own image I took my Creator’s paintbrush And with just one stroke My love created you …Yes you And all of mankind With my heart for creativity in mind I desired to have a race of people just like me A race of gentle-hearted people That went about populating the earth As miniature ME’s Depositing love flowers And a sense of security Then one day a snake came along He dumped mud upon my canvas And tried to destroy my masterpiece He was unsuccessful as you can see For every time a new day begins Every time a new sunset or sunrise is shown It is a gentle reminder that I have won in the end I Am the master Creator… I am God… I am the Author… I am the Great Painter… I am a Designer… And I created you! So whenever you arise in the morning And whenever you retire from your long day Just remember the author and finisher of your faith Believe on me and you shall have everlasting life!
