Seen Only By God
Ka-boom! An explosion shatters the mid morning sky!
A new face of ledge now greets the eye.
Dynamite, in a skilled blaster's hands
Will create a new road to satisfy society's demands.
Drill time and load time never happen real fast;
Careful preparations are done before it is time to blast.
And, following the removal of the soil and the sod,
Something is visible, that was previously seen only by God!
My alarm splits the silence; and I roll out of bed.
Now to prepare myself for the long day ahead.
Coffee is brewing; the cereal is in the bowl.
Should I slice my banana--or just eat it whole?
It's a strange sensation that I feel,
Splitting open that bright yellow peel.
Perhaps to you this observation may seem a trifle odd;
This banana I now observe, has previously been seen only by God!
My day progresses, and my morning runs fine.
The noon whistle blows;this lunch time is mine!
Another thought occurs in my mind
While I'm relieving my orange of it's thick rind.
Once I've broken through that tough outer skin,
I can never restore it's integrity again!
Like the relationship 'tween a pea and it's pod,
These foods in their casings have been previously seen only by God!
And the same God who packed these things with such tender care,
Looks at my head and numbers each hair!
Having a loving Father, Who treats us this way,
Makes it hard to understand how people can turn Him away.
