MAGNIFICENT WORLD <\/p>\n

Just imagine the magnificent beauty,
\nWhen the Lord first created the Earth,
\nIt was indeed such a wonderful sight,
\nAll of God’s sons were filled with mirth.<\/p>\n

Yes, it was so virgin, pure and verdant,
\nNo, never touched by any human hand,
\nHow I would have surely and truly loved,
\nTo have lived in that very pleasant land.<\/p>\n

Now of course in our own present time,
\nSome places still take our breath away,
\nYet I must wonder if it can ever compare,
\nTo the world born on that very first day.<\/p>\n

No doubt Adam and Eve had to marvel,
\nAs they took in such an awesome view,
\nHonestly, if you had been in their place,
\nWouldn’t you have likewise done it too?<\/p>\n

Yet today just look at what we are doing,
\nTo this precious gift given from above,
\nWe strip & pollute it with so many things,
\nAnd don’t treat it with kindness and love.<\/p>\n

Poor stewards we have all certainly been,
\nWe do not respect what our Father gave,
\nSo there needs to be a great awakening,
\nFor it’s past time that we begin to behave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
