Magnet

There is a gigantic magnet
somewhere far out in deepest space
that holds the planets in their place
sun and moon too, do rise and set. 

All controlled by this magnet
that makes the moon govern the tides
whilst stars do whisper in asides
of this and that caught in its jet.

Yet who controls it, this magnet?
for that one must read the book
and not just skimp but really look
read every word and heaven get.

Our life of free will is governed
by vast things beyond our knowledge
all courses pre-set by a hedge
that path of god to us is wed.

You know, it's quite believable that there's a huge magnet out there. A beautifully penned sentiment.
