I Cannot Prove a Thing



I cannot prove there is a God;
No scientific proof,
But all those flowers in the sod
And birds above my roof?

Where did all colors come from then,
As well as wind in trees?
And what caused rivers to begin
Along with salty seas?

I find it way too hard to think
A big bang caused it all,
Including stars that slowly blink
Or a baby's hunger call.

If God did not create all things,
Then why does praying feel
Like God made Earth and all it brings
That show our God is real?
