God's Plant Plan For Planet Earth! Poem by Denis Martindale

When God had plans as yet to be,
He thought and thought and thought,
Reflecting on each mystery,
On lessons to be taught...
That's why the rambling rose was made,
With every leaf precise,
A factory meant for light to aid
The power it supplies...

Consider how the microscope
Reveals the micro world,
As if to grant each man new hope,
Dark curtains drawn, unfurled...
Such that the human eye can spy
On secrets plants still hold,
As if to show the reasons why
All life proves good as gold...

That tiny portion on a slide,
That sliver sliced and viewed,
It brings a tingle here inside,
It brings me joy renewed...
For here's now something better known,
Enhanced, displayed as great,
As if God meant it to be shown,
His grace to celebrate...

For evolution has no grace,
No power to improve,
Nor match the beauty of my face,
Nor wisdom meant to soothe...
A million miracles exist
Before life came to Earth
And even more, they still persist,
As long as each has worth...

And that's the reason plants remain,
In gardens everywhere,
For Man to nurture and to gain,
With fruits beyond compare...
How blessed Man stands, that God bestows
Each plant cell for each tree,
With sunlight power so it grows
With tranquil majesty...

A microscope, that's all I need
To prove God's truly real,
With new insights that I might heed
And wondrous truths reveal...
Thank God for photosynthesis!
Thank God for wondrous things!
The Lord of Lords! He's more than this!
Behold, the King of Kings!
