The Creator's Gift

What is the gift the Creator doth give? Providing a purpose for which to live. It could be the consciousness He gave man. The awareness we’re part of His grand plan. Faith and trust in what’s physically not seen. An eternal life, but what does that mean? Thoughts that come to us from we know not where. Caring without knowing just why we care. Feeling the unity of all as one. The gift of planets, the stars moon and sun. Animals and plants, all things here on Earth. The miraculous miracle that’s birth. It must be more than just one of the parts, All Truth starts inside of our hearts.

Hi Bill, I do believe the good precious Lord gives us each our purpose on earth to carry out. I think mine is in being a giver. Purpose in life, especially love and altruism, warms the heart and soul. Outstanding poem here. Hugs to you and Sara. ~

I agree, Regina. I was a licensed minister as a young adult, preaching, teaching, youth ministry, and children's church music director. Now I just try to let Love flow through me to any I come in contact with. When I see someone in need, I try to help them however I can. Thanks for reading and commenting on my poetry and Sara's poetry. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill P.S. I hope you will follow my poetry and Sara's poetry so we can get to know you and your poetry better.
