A Marble in the Universe

He holds in His hands a marble
Of beautiful azure and green
A marble with special components
Like no other that has ever been seen.

Suspended in space it revolves
According to His unique plan,
Providing a place with a garden
Where in His image He created man.

Just moments have passed in His time
Since He first breathed life into clay,
In a perfect-formed place called Eden
Where He fashioned both night-time and day.

Many heartaches since creation
Have we caused our Giver of Life
Especially after He fashioned
Adam’s help-mate and beautiful wife.

Our sins have been many on earth
Since He gave His children free will.
We’ve abused His lovely round marble
And we continue to abuse it still.

How long will He allow our sins
To run rampant over His lands
Before the destruction of mankind
Will come with the clap of His hands?
