The Great I Am


from the ABC set Experimental Works

“I am God” said the Sun
I am the light, the way.
“No, tis I” said the Moon
“I rule the night, the tides
They too do as I bid.”
“Both are wrong” said the Earth;

“I am the one God
I give birth to life
They dwell on my face”
“With no light from me
There would be no trace”

Said the proud Sun.
“I am the one”
“I made you all”
A voice did call

“It is I
The one all
Fail to see

I am
The true

GOD!"

Like this, a lot, Val. The IP this week is much harder than it sounds, and you have made a brilliant job of it:-)

Thanks Tia, actually I wrote this a while back but re-jigged it a little and thought it might do for this weeks IP. Val x

The IP thing is great but this little gem stands on its own merit; very clever and - dare I say - uplifting ;) Well done, enjoyable!
