Of Creatures of God

lobsters are
god given creatures
often boiled alive
for purposes
given by the creator…

you too
are one of his
given creatures
but unlike
the crustacean 
he gave you choices
in created purposes:

you can choose 
to boil alive
in waters 
of depression
or to warmly glow
in the sunshine
of the waters of life…

so wade in water
child—wade
and
be not afraid—
god not only troubles
the water
but 
also gives it peace
with ripples of love:
remember
you have choices…
