Someone Had To Create It All

It’s our responsibility,
To help the world survive you see,
It’s urgent, because after all,
Someone had to create it all.

Of every leaf on every tree
Reflecting pure symmetricality
Throughout the spring, summer and fall.
Someone had to create it all.

Of flower petals perfectness,
Roses next to zephyranthes,
Tiny mum, and sunflowers tall,
Someone had to create it all.

What of the ebb and flow of tides,
Life to all the creatures inside,
From Giant Squid to fish so small,
Someone had to create it all.

From zebra stripes to leopard spots,
How eagles fly and how frogs hop,
Mountain goats balance - rarely fall,
Someone had to create it all.

So, we need to give thanks each day,
That God designed the world this way,
And promise to put out the call:
Someone had to create it all.

To be fair I could not place this poem where I wanted to because of the absence of the date, sponsor and contest name. Terri, I loved your kyrielle. Such lovely imagery! Hugs...Kim
