Finger prints
I often wondered why
Can’t I
See the beauty in a plastic jar
Touch the warmth of an iron bar
Feel the passion of a metallic car
Unlike a rose, a bird, a baby, a tree, a stone, or a star
Suddenly, I came to realize
That all real beauties
From the largest galaxy
To the smallest grain of sand
Carry the same mysterious
Fingerprint
The one and only
The original
Signature of God
Yet on the others you read:
Artificially
"Man-made"

Did you touch the sky, one day
With finger-tips of love and joy ?

Did you feel the wind, one day
Dancing with your heart … hoy… hoy

Did you hear your doll, one day
Praying along with every toy ?

Did you smell the grass, one day
Breathing hope in and out comes pain ?

Did you slide the rainbow, one day
Ridding wings of angels… painting drops of rain ?

Did you ask your self, one day
Am I really mad
Or simply…just sane !

If you can
Just sit for a moment
And listen …
Listen to the birds
Singing songs of praise
Listen … to the breeze
Whispering to the trees
“Would you pray with me tonight?”
“Yes, with all my heart,
Love, joy and delight”

Listen …
Can you hear the rhythm
Of the stone’s heartbeat?
“I love you God”
Their words with every beat

Listen …
Can you hear the silence
In a tranquil summer night
Deep … deep .. silence
Is the language of the heart

Listen …
Rain drops tap-dancing
Tip-top … drip-drop
Tiny elegant steps
A never-ending story
Proclaiming God’s wonders
And His majestic glory
Listen …
Can you feel the serenity
Of golden wheat grains
Bowing down their heads
Giving mother earth
A great big embrace

Listen…
Can you hear the rainbow
Stretching up and down
Reaching out to heaven
Then bending like a clown
Dazzling amalgamation
Most certainly divine

Listen …
The dignified roses
Extending out their hands
Calling you to pray
Come and join the crowd
God is The Greatest
Most Gracious, Most Kind

Listen …
Atoms are dancing
Going round and round
Joyful in their orbits
What a graceful band
Praising their creator
Joining hand in hand
Listen …
Numbers are standing
Magnificent is the sign
Starting from the zero
Infinite is the line
Unique in their performance
Majestic their design
Praying in adoration
Humbly kneeling down

Listen …
Galaxies are twirling
Wrapped up in cosmic light
Swaying in their dresses
Glowing through the night
All shapes colours and sizes
What an awesome sight
Glorifying their Designer
Grace, peace and delight
