What If? What if God made you a tree? You would grow strong and tall Maybe shelter some birds In your strong arms Or a squirrel might reside Beneath your roots What if God had made you a flower? You might be tenderly cared for By a gardener watching in anticipation Of the glorious day of your presentation With fragrance so sweet And colors so awesome You would stand for a day In glorious array What if God had made you a butterfly? For a brief period of time You would fly here and there Landing on one flower and then another Your life is so very brief Your reason for living comes and goes Before you know it all is over Youve returned to the earth From whence you came What if God had made you a stream? Wandering from bank to bank Gently and swiftly floating by Around the rocks and under a branch Nourishing the earth as you float by An ocean or lake would be your end Only to rise up in tiny droplets to the clouds To begin your journey anew What if God made you a dog? A loyal companion you would be Content to wait for a loving hand Reaching out to give you a pat Lying in the sun or running like the wind These are the small joys of your life Each day in anticipation You await your masters return And with tail wagging And tongue hanging out You lovingly make your greeting What if God made you a stone? On a majestic mountain you might lie To wind and weather you are exposed You have no control of where you go Until one bright day Down the mountain you roll And come crashing to a halt at the bottom There you stay until on another day Something comes along to move you again But God didnt make you any of these Out of His love He made you a person The best of all His creations He gave you eyes to see the beauty And ears to hear wondrous sounds He gave you a mind to think and to learn He gave you a heart to fill with love And arms to reach out to all around He gave you feet to walk His creation And He gave you a voice to sing of His love But best of all He gave you His Son That you might always abide with Him By: Ann Martin July 20, 2001
