26 ¶And
God said, Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth.
27 So
God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him; male and female created
he them.
Sonnet 682 Genesis 1:26-27
by Tom Matkin
All things denote there is a God above
The beauty and the order which abound
The majesty of mountains and of love
The music and variety of sound.
And added to the miracle of birth
And firmaments that glorify His hand
And all the other evidence of earth
Is God's averment all of this was planned.
So stand in awe of touch and sounds and sights
That quicken in our nature worship's ken
But also in your heart receive the rites
That comfort, teach and testify to men.
Thus you must pray to find, as I have done
Your witness of the Father. And the Son.
