The Breath of Life
God said,"Let Us make man today,
Just as we are, in the same way.
God is three parts, all One whole,
Body and Spirit, and Immortal Soul.
There in a Garden, in morning's light,
God gave to Adam, the Breath of Life.
When He made Eve, from Adam's rib,
Life passed on to her from him.
Each little babe, born from then on,
Bares the same gift, passed on and on.
All have a body, each one unique.
Different in color, size and physique.
All have a soul, set identity,
The power to say, "I am me."
All have a spirit, eternal to dwell,
Either in Heaven, or else in Hell.
This precious gift, none can deny,
For God gave us the Breath of Life.
