Look Both Ways

I looked up and saw the universe
    it seemed so vast and cold
      unaware of my existence
  Unconcerned about my soul...

  Looking down I saw an ant
    struggling with its load
      Right then and there I knew
  Why purpose God bestows

Wonderful words Gershon. All creatures great and small God loves them all. As for the universe, what a sight - pure delight, and how about day and night? ~ Belle

We can learn so much when we take our eyes off the problem.
