Our Creative Friends
A Daughter of God
As a daughter of God
I can do many things.
I’m able to be
kind and true.
I have a body
made in His image;
with it there are many
things I can do.
I’m able to serve my
family and friends
in so many ways I
can’t count them.
I can make beds and
help Mom make dinner,
then pick her a flower
on its gentle stem.
I can jump
and I can run,
and laugh and
sing and play.
Thank you, dear Father,
for letting me be
Your creation,
I’m grateful today.

God’s Creation
The grass is green, the leaves are too.
The sun shines brightly on me and you.
The flowers say hello as the breeze blows by.
I love to look at the blue, blue sky.
The dogs chase and the kittens play.
God has given us this beautiful day.
