God Made Them All

There is a purpose in this world
For every living thing -
For flowers and trees and animals,
And birds upon the wing.

God made them all, the great and small,
The mighty and the meek,
And we should treat them on and all
With kindness when we speak.

For all that God created
is precious in His sight
From the songbirds in the morning
To the creatures of the night.

How dreary daily life would be
Without these living things,
From the nuzzle of a kitten
To an eagle's golden wings.

We must love them and protect them,
And treat them with respect,
For surely we might lose them
If we treat them with regret.

~ Clay Harrison

...and God saw
all the things
that He had made,
and they were
very good.
Gen 1:31
