Yours                                                                                                                2/8/93

I was thinking of you when I made the world
That’s why it’s yours
I was thinking about you when the idea popped into my head
I was thinking about you when I was making it
I thought about you whenever I told anyone what I was doing
It’s got your name all over it
You were in my mind when I hung it out there on display
It was you I was thinking of when I decided the world would not be for sale
It’s been your’s from the beginning
It will always belong to you

Good thought.  People forget that God did give us dominion over the world.  I like St. Paul's saying in 1 Timothy 6:17:

"Trust...in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy."

There's nothing wrong with enjoying life.

sirreen,
this is very good, what a nice thought and a new way of saying an old,but treasured message. very nice.take care, janet marie

 Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme,
They are not measured by the commitment of time.
Some emotions run too deep to be described by words,
Forgiveness and understanding-
remain the most beautiful words ever heard.

Never quite thought of it this way! He did give us dominion over all living things. And he created it to be inhabited. Wonderful thoughts!

Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.

Hello and thanks to all for the very kind replies to my post, but, I gotta tell ya, this poem had nothing to do with dominion, nor even possesion. This poem was just a little reminder from God to me that I was free. That I could do what I want, free from guilt, because it was all made for me, and you, and you, and you, and you. That's the way God is. Mysterious.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
And now I'll be kicked off the forum. Ah well. My work here is done.

sirreen; Your poem reminds me of His passionate Love for each of us as individuals. He"loved us and knew us in our mothers womb", you are so right on here that He made everything with each one of us in mind. If only everyone could know this, what a great world we would have. Great job!

writter, your right God did give us the earth and all that's in it that we might enjoy the works of His hands and then he wrote the earth withers and perishes in mans transgressions. So in our fun let's be sure it's more God glorified and not self gratified.
