Earth School In Verse Poem by Janice M Pickett

I am spending more and more time
in Thought
Thinking great thoughts about life
pondering on what I have been taught
dissecting every trouble
every Strife

Understanding comes easier
each moment
That God gave us everything
and more
He said if we believed
we would receive it
No need to keep knocking down
his door

Instead of always asking him
to help us
Accept, he HAS already
and offer thanks
Believing is the key to
our existence
The mind we have
more powerful than tanks

True faith is getting on
and living
Knowing God has paved the way
with gold
When we keep trying things
without him
We will always end up out there
in the cold

This life is just an Earth School
for our growing
In spirit we have much to do
to grow
Our teacher made a promise to
supply us
with all the skills and things we
need to know

So before we reach our time
of graduation
the biggest lesson we will have
to learn
Is how to trust in God our
Heavenly teacher
Instead of using man
who'll crash and burn
