Think of your anatomy
How your eyes adjust to light
How they will close and open
According to dark or bright

Think of all the tiny veins
How delicately they're made
Pumping oxygen and blood
Your beating heart is their aid

Who could have made a body
That could heal on its own
When you get a cut or scratch
It can heal all alone

You can take your intestines
And can stretch them for a mile
They're packed, perfectly inside
And protected all the while

How bones grow in the body
From a baby to adult
It's all in perfect balance
A miracle's the result

How perfectly we are formed
From our head down to our toes
No human could have done it
It's only our Lord who knows

For if we did attempt it
We'd leave something vital out
I think it is to show us
What God's powers' all about

We can take a simple seed
And plant it within the ground
Still don't know just how it grows
The results will be profound

Ponder on God's awesomeness
Can we think He don't exist?
How could something such as this
Be so easily dismissed?

One way you can save your riches,
And the other will save your soul.

Dear Rebecca; The scripture that comes to mind as I read your beautiful poem is..."I knew you before you were formed in your mothers' womb". Rebecca, I love the depth of your spirituality. You write with a heart that knows our Lord and a voice that speaks His Truth and Love. Thank you dear friend. Love, Ellie

We are wonderfully made by an AWSOME CREATOR!
How well your work points out how complex and skillfully we have been crafted. To God be the Glory, Great things He has done! You have done well too sharing this with us.

Everything is beautiful viewed from the awesomeness of Gods creation.  Your writing reminds us of His wonders in the tiniest, most intricate things, as well as the great overall mindboggling balance of it all. You brought this out so well in your poem.  God Bless!

You are all too kind! Thank you. As I read it again, it just isn't quite what I had in mind. You get this big picture in your mind, but when it comes out, it don't look so big.

Thank you all, He is an AWESOME GOD! Who took so much time and thought in what he put into us!

Awesome indeed! I've always pondered how amazing our anatomy is. How science tries to explain it all away. And they are still not sure what makes the body sneeze. I know God knows! God bless
Sincerely,
Rwood

Thank you, Rebecca for giving us cause to do some introspection of our physical make-up, and it's awesome Creator.  Truly we are "fearfully & wonderfully made."  We need to give more attention to God's Awesomeness & His purposes in Blessing us so greatly.
Thank you, Dear Moderator & Friend for such a wonderful piece!  David

Wtdove - the masterpieces just keep coming don't they?  What an awesome poem describing the awesomeness of God!  

I often ponder over our anatomy, and can't believe that before i was christian i believed what my science taught me about evolving from a monkey.  

Only God could create such an intricate anatomy - and what about aging? Like you said about the bones, there's so much there that can't be explained in human terms - it's just God, and he's and AWESOME GOD!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem sweetie, i'm going to print it out for others to read.  Bless you.

Awesome, YES!
Just recently shared a great little song
with my 2 year old, and me and my 7 year old
enjoy it just as well...
Ready?
Pre-school 101:

"God made me!
God Made me!
I'm so happy that God made me!
He made my fingers and
He made my toes,
He made my knuckles and
He made my nose.
He made my hips and
He made my chin,
He made the shape that I am in!"

Important we let the little ones hear from the beginning of this incredible "awsomeness".
Great Poem, Whtdove!

Masterpiece Mirjam? hahah, but that thank you!
I do remember being taught that in school that we evolved. I guess being at such a young age, you can see exactly what it is they're telling you.  Though thank God we know better now.  For things that were made still look the same as they did thousands of years ago, a fish is still a fish, and a monkey is still a monkey.

Yep, God and His infinite wisdom could only do something as complex as this.
Thank you for sharing it with others, that's a blessing!

JF...thanks! I like that little poem/song.
I think a lot of kids need just that today, so they can be comfortable with the way God has made them.     Thanks for sharing that with me.

Denise thank you sweetie!
