TO AN IDEA WE RETURN



"LET Us make man in our image"
T's thus an Idea from which we come.
For what "ALL" takes to be made.
To "Let's give dust to dust" we return.

So is a tinge with THING, to beware.
THAT we are conceiv'd by a Phrase.
With a skin we may HAVE to wear.
And the binge of BREATH till date.

"Let all thing that have breath" He says.
should He alone they give PRAISE
From THE time they are birth'd.
To Him LORD, when they leave earth.

That which we are, we are-
nothin' but an idea in the mind of God.
