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

L Milton Hankins February 13, 2021 at 1:20 PM Edward, I must confess I had problems trying to follow your "train of thought," and the repetitions were cumbersome. Sorry "controversy find so unkind."

L Milton Hankins February 13, 2021 at 1:14 PM 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!
