God's Guarantee

God gives a lifetime guarantee
To everyone on earth,
With benefits we start to reap
The moment of our birth.

He furnishes us an endless sky
That arches over all
And sprinkles it with silver stars
That sometimes flame and fall.

Supplies us with a sun and moon.
With fog and winter snow
And rain to nourish all the trees
And other things that grow.

He gives to us the gift of clouds
In all their great array.
Then sends us winds from everywhere,
To blow them all away.

The animals, the birds in air,
The teeming life at sea.
The singing whales, the strange and rare,
All free, to you and me!

This reminded me of a quote from a movie that I adore... "Oh God!" and in that film George Burns plays God and in answer to the question, of "why don't you do something?" --in regards to the injustice of the world--He answered:

"I gave you a world and everything in it. What more do you want?"

(oh..and I did paraphrase the quotes...rotten memory)

Loved this.

Great quote and sure covers what I was saying in the poem!  I haven't seen the movie but maybe I'll rent the vieo.  We all like John Denver too!  Thanks.

Betty; as always your poetry is so beautiful and flows from my eyes to my heart with all it's profound wisdom! Love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
