The Book

The book has so much knowledge, wisdom
and even some fear, for the words it gives us 
we hold quiet dear.

Some may question the book, because of the
things they may here.  But without this book
peace doesn't seem so near.

The beliefs may have been questioned as
they are written but without it we may have
never been forgiven.

Small miracles fall upon this land yet  
we never give thought who has given a hand.
 
So many do not look to this great book until
there needs are at such great demands.

So look to this book and you will find such
great rewards until the end of time.
