All God's Creations


We walked on the beach, just Daddy and me,
And looked for shells on the sand.
We found a starfish holdin' tight to a rock.
Then we walked down the beach holding hands.

He showed me where clams had made holes in a stone,
We watched how the waves filled a pool.
Then he told me all about fish and such things
and he joked, "Even they go to school,"

We ran from the waves and made castles of sand,
And talked about Jesus a while.
I could tell how Dad loved him, Jesus I mean,
From the tear in his eye and his smile.

We climbed to the top of a really high cliff
To watch the sun hide in the sea.
Then Daddy told me, "Of all that God made
His greatest creation was me."

Written for Kimberly for a Primary talk. 1987
