God Cares For All Creatures

The guava sapling planted has grown big; The tree is laden with ripe fruits many; How many can I pluck or eat each day? Lie fruits unseen at heights, I cannot reach. I see the parrots enjoy tasty fruits; I see the squirrels gnaw the fine ripe ones; I see bats with voracious appetites; And many more fall down by force of winds. God fills the tree with fruits for each season; Man cannot eat all fruits the tree can bear; God feeds each bird of the air with care; He made them all and that’s the chief reason. When God can feed His other creatures well, So many human beings starve to death; Oh, what a man-made tragedy, we see, As tons of food goes rotten every day! God loves all human beings even more Than all His other creatures whom He made; Both food and drink turn scarce by acts of men; Why blame God for our misdemeanor, then?
