Five worms

Yesterday I had seen a worm

not one, but really there were five,

and though this wasn’t new to me,

I learned from this, God was alive.

When I bent down over the first,

He told me there would be four more

and as I plodded along the path,

God Himself was keeping score.

I learned something about His will,

about how He would always intervene,

I learned how He would not back down

once He decided what should have been.

As I walked and talked with Him,

I learned that my help was not required,

that God would see the whole thing through

with no assistance from me acquired.

In the end I had seen five worms,

but these I did not really get to know

for it was to God that I was introduced

in this spectacular nature show.
