Never Forget

Never Forget

Never forget
that the Creator’s eyes are always upon the land
and her inhabitants
to see they remember always
they are living in his chambers

Never forget
that Israel is watered by rain
there is no Nile River
running through her fields
no matter how much you may wish it

Never forget
that God cups the land in both hands
so if you live there, you are in His hands too
should you forget this
He will jiggle you about so you remember

Never forget
that looking up is a good thing
for you can see the Creator smiling down on you
and the skies above Israel are free of clouds

Never forget
that none who have learned to live with God
would want to live without Him
