How Poem by George Samuel

How old is the earth
Older than yesterday
How wide is the earth
And high the heavens
How bright are all with light
How far is the future
Maybe two days bold
How common is our breath
How sudden is death like a thief
How close is the soul to the grave
Quick to feed the hungry earth
How deep is the sea
And narrow the streams
How gentle is the breeze
How furious the ragging storm
Of life's troubling days
How fresh is the rain
How toes the waves of the grand sea
How strong is the lion and cruel in heart
How harmless is the dove
And subtle the serpent
How wonderful is the gift of life
How all to his beautiful name
