"Creation Prayer" is an original Christmas poem submitted by an About.com visitor. Using a creative economy of words, the writer gives a brief accounting of God's careful and purposeful hand in creation.

Creation Prayer

God, Creator
Gift of light
All the earth in His sight
Swell of storms
Calm of night
Raise or diminish with His might
Pain of birth
Life’s delight
Credit Him this phoenix flight
Color, pattern
Niche defined
Not by chance was this design
Each with purpose
Toward good’s end
All His flock does He tend

--Clara Klein
