Cradle of Life

The days started and life began
The streams took their place and mountains their stand
The trees grew and the grasses squatted,
The shrubs and the mangroves
All took their shape and made life beautiful.

Everything set 
All put in their place.
Nothing was out of order
But made to suit the being that will soon come

Then the decent takes effect
Preparations completed
The stage set
Nothing to work for
As all things have been laid from the cradle of life

He stood there to make all things right
Made the stage ready
Provided for contingencies
And all that will emanate as the days go.

He knows the way
He has been to the destination
And would gladly lead whoever cares to follow him
The needs on the way he will provide
At cold nights his warmth will be sufficient
And when the night comes he will follow you home

He is friendlier than a friend
Cares more than the eyelids to the eyeballs
Secures more than a thousand soldiers would
And loves more than the thoughts could imagine
He has made all things right 
And would gladly give
If you shall seek the source
