The World
“The world is wet,” said the little frog;
“What isn’t water is mostly bog.”
“Oh, not at all! said the little fly;
“It’s full of spiders, and very dry!”
“The world is dark,” said the moth polite.”
“With ruddy windows and bows of light.”
“My poor young friends, you have much to learn.
“The world is green.” said the swaying fern.
“O listen to me,” sang the little lark:
“It’s wet and dry, and it’s green and dark.
To think that’s all would be very wrong;
It’s arched with blue, and it’s filled with song.”

We look at our world and see many faces
We live in a whirl of various places
No matter how different our worlds may appear
God made us all and holds us all dear

The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; the world and all its fullness, You have founded them. Psalm 89:11

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:7-8

Their stories. Every one of those little characters up there in that poem sees their world in a different way, believing “this is the way the whole world is.”
What perspective do you hold for “the world” you live in?
Me? I like the idea of hearing the world sing! ☺
And speaking of singing, I’m very happy about the way sales of my new Young Adult novel, The Stonekeepers are going!
Happy and Blessed New Year 2016 to all!
Love,
Sally
