The Art of God
by Betty Hass © 2009When God first designed the world,
He sketched in black and white.
Creating water, rocks and air,
Until it looked just right.
A globe in perfect balance,
Turning 'round and 'round.
A celestial timepiece,
That never comes unwound.
When God thought it was ready,
He finally added life.
Some trees and plants and animals,
And last, a man and wife.
To finish off his artwork
Great beauty he unfurled,
By adding all the colors
Of the rainbow to this world.
This poem won second place for the
July 2009 poetry contest
