Our Creator's

All praise The Common Source of our existence!

Africa's sun in full glory rising
to nourish me with sweet health; the food crops
growing on green fields; valleys and hills thriving
with grazing animals of various flocks;
mass sea waves and beach sands; the mountain rocks;
the tough armour scales of alligators...
all these wonders, you see, are my Creator's!

Sea's fish feed you; sky's stars pleasure your eye.
Taste sea's salt, but go not near sky's lightning!
Can you reach deepest sea or measure high sky,
and don't you find both depth and height frightening?
Clap your hands, move your feet, show your smile white, sing
that one grain of rice rewards you acres!
O give thanks and praise for what is your Creator's!

Wait a minute! Stop and think! Just look at how
women carry the power to give us birth,
how for nine months sperm and egg fuse to grow
a child, now a grown man walking on Earth,
a breathing miracle in the universe!
Children cannot deny being born from mothers,
just as we can't deny being our Creator's.
