A lovely flower in full bloom
Lifts its petals toward the sky,
But then within a few short weeks
It withers and it dies.
The kingdom of the animals,
The birds that fill the air,
Have only one small space in time
In which they all can share.
The same hold true for everything
That dwells upon this earth,
Except for man and man alone,
God has granted him rebirth.
Created in His image
With a soul that never dies,
By His grace we live forever
If in Him we do abide.
~ Albert N. Theel
