My Living Soul
MY LIVING SOUL
At the dawning of time
When not even 'light' had a presence
He said, “Let there be light"
And the Earth was consumed, in its essence
The darkness was fractured
As daylight held it at bey
The darkness, He named it, the Night
And the light he called Day
He formed all of Earth
He divided the lands, from the seas
The most beautiful flora and fauna
A treasure of fruits and of trees
A myriad of stars, to watch over His flock
Signs from the Heavens, a celestial clock
The birds and the animals
All creatures and fishes
He filled up the seas
And a world full of wishes
The most wondrous of beasts
Of the land, sea and air
With scales and with tails
And with feathers and hair
Now, I shall make 'man' in my image
With power over death and o'er birth
From the creatures that live in the oceans
In the air, on the land, in the dirt
Man will feed and will clothe, from these bounties
He will grow, in his civilization
For 'he' is the pick of My crop
The fruits of My fondest creation
The Heavens and earth, now are plenished
Creation has taken its toll
The seventh day, now I am rested
Mankind, is My Own, Living Soul
