Deep inside us is who we are.
Not just the stuff made from a star.
An animal knows only what he shows.
A man surely knows what he knows.
An animal looks at the sky and may see rain.
A man looks to the sky and sees God’s refrain.
An animal looks at the night sky and sees a star.
A man looks at the night sky and sees creation far.
An animal raises young just to survive.
A man raises young, to greater things strive.
An animal moves rocks to get bugs underneath.
A man moves rocks to make art to bequeath.
An animal stands on a cliff to look below.
A man stands on a cliff to learn and know.
An animal sees fire and swiftly takes flight.
A man sees fire and harnesses it to see at night.
An animal sees a rock and walks on by.
A man sees a rock and makes it fly.
An animal sees a bird and wants to eat it.
A man sees a bird and wants to repeat it.
An animal sees a waterfall and drinks from the shower.
A man sees a waterfall and makes great power.
An animal uses wind to smell scent within.
A man uses wind to give windmills a spin.
An animal uses gravity to pounce from above.
A man defies gravity and flies like a dove.
Animals see only with their senses.
A man sees with his mind’s lenses.
Animals hear from nature so true.
A man hears that and music too.
Animals walk this Earth through time they plod.
A man walks this Earth while looking for God.
