God Loves 'Em One and All

'Tis said that God loves all His creatures great and small. Here are just a few of them - I can't begin to name them all! He loves us one and all the whole world wide from A to Z! His steadfast love is extended to all including a sinner like me! God loves atheists, alcoholics, bootleggers, bums and Baptists - Bailiffs, Catholics, conservatives, coopers and capitalists - Doctors, dentists, democrats, extortionists and Eskimos - Farmers, fishermen, golfers, generals and hypochondros! He loves harlots, hypocrites, infidels, judges and jackasses - Kings, kooks, lawyers, Lutherans, liberals and lasses - Marines, Methodists, nerds, nurses, oracles and optometrists - Presbyterians, politicians, poets, pilots and proctologists! God loves Quakers, quacks, riveters, radicals and ragmen - Republicans, rednecks, ranchers, reporters and raftsmen - Sailors, Santa, scholars, scientists, sinners and scouts - Thieves, tithers, teachers, taxmen, tradesmen and touts! He loves unbelievers, veterans, villains and ventriloquists - Widows, xenophobes, Yankees, yuppies and zoologists! With so many folks to cherish, oft I wonder how it could be, That He takes the time to love poor insignificant me! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved
