Ever wonder why the birds sing at first light

Or why the elephant always remembers where it was born

And goes back to die

How the raptors know where their territory is

On the electric poles

How fish always know when to spawn and where

Why the bee gathers pollen to make the honey

As it pollinates the flowers

How the tree knows what year it is

As they start a new ring

Why babies instinctively know how to nurse

Whether it be bottle or breast

Or how to take that first breath of oxygen

That had already been provided

Where the darkness went when God created His Light

Plus the sun, and moon, and stars in our vast Universe

Why none of what I have mentioned

Was due to anything a human’s creativity

Could accomplish

These are just a few of the trillions upon trillions

Of God’s amazing miracles

That happen every moment of everyday

Yet ‘we’ act like ‘we’ had the plan

We are pompous strutters of ‘self’

Instead of being humble and eternally grateful

For the gifts He has bestowed on us and for us!

Thank You, Father and forgive us, Please.
