The following is a poem that was found in a clipping from a newspaper. The clipping was in a Bible that belonged to my great grandparents and I liked it so much I thought I would share it:
Freddy’s Questions – a poem by Mabel Matson
You say that God is here upon our earth
And up in heaven too,
You tell me He is everywhere at once –
Oh, how can it be true?
Are the bright sunny skies of blue His smile,
And the dark skies His frown?
And does He ride upon the thunder clouds,
And send the lightning down?
Do you supposed that they are just His voice,
The whispering winds that blow?
And does He watch beside our little brook,
To see the violets grow?
I wonder if He walks upon the seas,
To steer the ships aright;
And if He guides the wandering honey bees,
And brings them home at night?
Does He know every little bird by name
That flits from tree to tree?
Does He care for each one of them and does
He care for you and me?
Does He watch o’er us through the long dark nights,
And are you sure ‘tis true
He always knows if we do right or wrong
I wish I really knew.
David Lee
