"The Craftsman"
by Rachel Peterman

There are secrets in creation,
So mysterious---rare---sublime;
Bearing witness through the ages
Of a nobler place and time.

Once a Craftsman viewed the vastness
Stretching far beyond in space ~
Words He uttered pierced through nothing;
Objects took on form and face.

Then in stillness, that same Craftsman
Knelt, and from the dust began
A creation in His likeness,
Culmination of His plan.

Years have passed in countless number,
Ushering in each changing trend;
Faithful still remains the Craftsman,
Molding hearts and shaping men.

His design not once has altered---
Still His likeness casts the mold ~
And the Craftsman labors freely,
For His Hands turn dust to gold.
