Small World

The Earth so unknown and immense
When Christopher was sailing,
Has shrunk to travel time of hours;
Its mysteries unveiling.

The romance of the open sea
That called this inquiring sailor
Has lost most of its puzzlement.
Seduction growing paler.

Man always will climb mountains
Or plumb the deepest caves;
For only by such seeking does
He satisfy his craves.

As he penetrates the Heavens,
Learns secrets of the sod,
Each new discovery he makes
Reveals the truth of God.

He's found that all the parts of Earth
Are so secured together
That changing a small portion can
Disturb the tides and weather.

Each bit is necessary to
The healthiness of whole.
By altering God's blueprint, he
Can jeopardize the soul.

He needs now step with caution,
Leave alone if he's in doubt.
The betterment of man and world
Is what God's plan's about.
