The Soul of It All

The Soul of It All
 
Mankind’s creation and existence are by the hand
and intention of Almighty God in Heaven above.
God endowed His divine creation with the gifts of
contemplation, sympathy, and a realistic empathy.

The immortal soul of mankind has proved to be 
that magnificent essence of each man and woman.
The soul of it all defines the whole of each of us
in God’s eyes as we seek to understand ourselves.

We each take what we know and seek to define our
existence in the vast darkness of the eternal cosmos.
Prayer, reflection, and an earnest attempt in seeking
to understand all that is unknown reflect who we are.

God knew with His creation of us in His divine image
that we possessed the true desire to persevere above all.

Amen.

Interesting poem of contemplation Gary Bateman November 17, 2020 at 12:44 PM Hello Linda, Many Thanks for you read here of "The Soul of It All." I really do hope that whenever darkness ends up engulfing us from time-to-time, that the rays of light and redemption return to clear the darkness out. We can only pray and hope so. Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary
