Poem #18 – The Part of You That’s True

Forever is a long time
For those who view the world with limits.
Happy are we to share with thee
These truths.

You see such a small part
Of this great big world
There’s so much more beyond the sight

Before time began
Long before man
God had a plan
Then it began
Forests of trees
Birds and bees
Flowers, plants, and other treasures
Beauty beyond measure
Would He place into space
For His enjoyment.

So pretty these things
Pleasure they bring
But devoid of thoughts to share
Ideas to compare
And so he made a man
To execute the plan
To walk and talk and share
The beauty that was there

This man would have a heart
To play a major part
In all that would come
The work to be done
For nothing could God do
Without the love of you

For you are part of Him
You carry Him within
To witness all the treasures
Those pleasures that He made.

All the living things come from God
It’s not odd
To think that he is part of them
From the start of them
Not without, but within
The living, breathing organism
There’s no schism
In this thought

Think about it …

You ought to understand
Where you began
Inside of man
The part of you
That’s true
Is God
Living, breathing, loving you
It’s true

Say a prayer
If you dare
To God above
But know that love—
Your true nature
Starts inside
Don’t hide this gift
But give it to others
Your sisters and brothers
For all tread the same path
That takes them back
To the place they began
In the heart of man
Their home
Not alone
But one in spirit
Let all hear it …
