God's Purpose In Creation

Created for us with such velocity A stage for life with such grandiosity The stars, the planets, the moons God hurled As all of creation he unfurled And the grandest thing formed by God’s hand His final creation was that of man Vegetation, animals, and birds of the air And then from man he formed woman so fair He knew every aspect of his plan We received intellect so we could understand That he was our God and he’d always care Wherever we went he’d always be there He then gave man our free will and free choice So each could have their own unique voice Their own path to travel their own song to sing Put in man's terms to do our own thing So, lift up all voices and give to him praise His son died for us then he did raise All of his plans one day we will see Our stairway to his presence for all eternity

They make me think too, my friend. I have too much to think about on any given day to ever think I'm getting even the jest of life. Thanks for the visit and kind comment, Vijay. Have a pleasant weekend! Bill

Grandiose and eloquent, Bill... Just one question: In the first eight lines, I didn't find any species or classification into which Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton, or Barack Obama would fit. They must be outliers or something... Oh, geniosity: They fit in the category called "President of the USA - A Sucker is born every day!"

Enjoyed your heart’s emote, so exquisitely penned, Bill. Of vital importance is the preultimate stanza ~ we are indeed granted free will at soul level. Problem is, we languish at animal level. Point to ponder … Jesus demonstrated the potential of man, the potential each has but after several thousand years, as a collective, where are we?

When aligned with one's Creator, free will is easily expressed. Mankind as a whole is far short of being aligned with our Creator God. The ego and the self have overcome most of us and few are they that have even become aware of our lacking. Smiles ~ Blessings my friend. Bill

What a beautiful, well-written poem, Bill. You captured the world God created and made sense of it in understandable but poetic terms. I just loved this poem. I particularly liked the last line. Thanks for your creative spirit, xoxo and hugs ... Sara (the eastside writing bear)
