The Image of God In Man

A human made in God’s image
with noble form, face, eyes, and limbs.
Created species of such form 
was not before that time the norm.

Divine experiment it seems
of which we humans only dream.
A creature made, with nature less  
would manifest, divine essence.

God, the epitome of love,
resides in heaven up above.
When mothers love those who they wean
God’s trait in man on earth is seen.

God is all-wise, omniscient
Always alert, never remiss.
The variedness of human views,
reveals the mind of God diffused.

God has no beginning or end.
This gift to man He did extend.
Man’s quest to live eternally,
declares God’s trait, in him, still stirs.

Though marred by sin, God’s image shines,
through noble deeds, of various kinds.
When saving grace, invades humans,
their god-like traits shine in sharp view.
