have you ever seen His work?
the way His delicate hands
start carving into the thickest wood
the outer layers resisting
giving Him no reason to continue on
He does, as if there is something so great
He can’t leave it behind, forget it
and continue his next piece
softer wood, more extravagant,
some can be used to hold up the
the highest coliseums, the largest monuments
those are the ones worth continuing
worth the work put into them
He still creates these colossal structures
puts them to greatest use, to support many
but He doesn’t leave behind the thickest of woods
the ones always fighting back
as if His hands were the enemy
as if there seemed to be no possible way
of turning these pieces into something useful
you think He gives up?
lingering over, just waiting for the opportunity
to take His sharpest tools, ones that He counts on
to penetrate that thick outer skin
finally working, finally sculpting
as if it were is very own child, He puts
every last sliver of strength into this creation
even if it may not support the highest coliseums
the largest monuments
it will still be used, so the world can see
how His hands create beauty
