Poetry
Remembering his scripture
his commandments written down
our place in the world
where we as humans stand
below the creator
in his image though we may be
stewards, servants only
tending his garden while we are here
control over the world
dominion over the earth
but we must follow the commands
to rest and remember God
the source of all that is
our daily bread he does provide
we are only on the earth for a time
our days only he knows the number
we are to be faithful and kind
watching out for our neighbor
giving rest to ourselves and the earth
caring for the garden
while we walk here on the earth
