Exaltation

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

We are such an egotistical bunch of beings
Yet we know so little of about life
Life is so delicate yet hard and enduring
We innovate and create
We try and replicate
We do our best to produce
Yet what is so time consuming for us
Is but a mere moment in time
We strive to be the best
While the world around is striving to survive
What is a grand feat for us
Is but a simple blimp in the grand scheme
Like a writer, a poet, an inventor, a creator
He is all of these things and so much more
We can not even fathom His reach
With His being He brings life to the living world
We marvel at what seems like magic as He creates life
And breaks the bond to cross the veil
He simply but divinely sparks His spirit within us
We are a part of Him
His spirit soars within us
All we need do is let it
Breathe, behold, open your eyes
He is everywhere in and around you
He is the mountains, the hills and the valleys
He walks with us and picks us up
And sets us on our way
We must amuse him at times with our antics
Horrify Him with our hatred
Yet He loves us without question
For He knows we know not what we do
Focus on the goodness He beholds
As we stand before Him
He forgives and gives us life
In Him, with Him, through Him
Stand in exultation
Rejoice and be glad
He is with us
All the days of our life.
