Who Did It? – Poem for Children

W e see the way our bodies work

To make all systems go.

The way we bend our knees and get

Our balance from our toes.

O ur hearts stay busy day and night

To keep our life blood flowing.

The brain is the director

That keeps the whole thing going.

H ow does my brain remember

To tell the heart to pump,

The lungs to breathe, the eyes to blink-

And not mix the signals up?!

A nd I have a bigger question:

Who made it, anyway?

Who made my heart, who gave me life?

Who thought up night and day?

T hey tell me it all came about

When molecules blew up.

And out of that explosion

Came the universe and stuff.

T hat doesn't make much sense to me,

'Cause every time I see

Something explode, the end results

Are more disorderly.

T he incredible Grand Canyon-

There's no way it was made

From a billion years of drip, drip, drip...

But a flood coulda' carved the way!

A nd take a look at granite,

Which man cannot create.

It's clear that Someone took it

From a liquid to hard state.

Have you ever realized

That our earth's exactly placed

The perfect distance from the sun,

While hanging out in space?

I f we were closer, we would burn;

Farther away, we'd freeze.

Now do you think a great Big Bang

Could've planned details like these?

S ome people like to think that monkeys

Are our closest kin.

But it hits me kind of funny

To believe we came from them.

I t doesn't make me feel good

To be told my grandpa spent

His free time swinging from a tree.

Besides, it makes no sense!

I hear they can't find fossils

To prove we came from apes.

And mustn't there be evidence

In any good court case?

I I'd rather think that Someone

Who cared about us all,

Took the time to make us

And our home, this big Earth-ball.

I like to think He made the fish

And mountains, skies and trees.

And most of all, I like the thought

He made us individually.

T he Bible tells us it was God

Who formed all of our parts.

And our names and personalities

He knew right from the start.

H e took the time and effort

To make me personally;

I'm not some random product

Of a blast of energy!

S ome people will still tell you

That your grandpa was an ape.

And they'll try hard to convince you

That the Bible's out-of-date.

T hey want to get you to believe

You have no need for God.

And even more, He doesn't exist.

That idea is a fraud!

I t's true that we can't see Him.

Yet we know that He is real.

His hand is in creation,

In people, rocks and hills.

H e proves it in the change He makes

When we give Him our lives.

He gives us peace and love and joy, 
We're no longer scared to die.

N ot only is God visible

In everything we see,

He guides and helps me every day-

That's evidence for me!
