All God's Creatures of Nature's World



All God's creatures of Nature's world, 

That inhabits all manner of places, upon, above, and below, 

The air, water, and land the world over. 

They will never know that they have a center within, 

That controls every function from within to without, 

And that it completes their commands, 

With the basic instincts of survival God given to them, 

Or that Nature's every creature has a center within, 

That controls and completes their commands just like them. 

They will never reason the why I am today, 

For they know not the reason for tomorrow, or that there was ever a yesterday,

Never knowing within, God's purpose and meaning of life today. 

They have not a need to know the purpose and meaning of their life today, 

For God takes care of all their needs. 

They will never take the time to care and give from the heart to what lives but them,

For they cannot think or reason the why and way of The Great I Am, 

Because, free will is not within their command, 

For it was given only to Man, 

To seek with the heart the why and the way to The Great I Am. 

They know their own species and communicate with them, 

And function to inhabit throughout their land. 

For they have been given only, 

The basic instincts of survival by God above, 

For their purpose is to function for 

And by only His will and command. 

He provides and cares daily for all of them.

Lord, make my way straight and pure and one with You,
