If you doubt there is a God,
look deep into a rose;
See the velvet petals
from the folded bud unclose;
Note the tint and texture
and the lovely coloring;
Could blind Nature of itself
evolve so fair a thing?
Feel the softness of the petal,
breathe the fragrant scent;
Need you waste another thought
on further argument?
Here is proof of a Creator:
God made manifest;
In this little rose we see
divinity expressed.

"I can see how it might be possible
for a man to look down upon the earth
and be an atheist, but
I cannot conceive how he could
look up into the heavens
and say there is no God."

Abraham Lincoln
