Oranges

For by Him were all things created, 
that are in heaven,
 and that are in earth, 
both visible and invisible...
Colossians 1:16 

Pottery bowl came from the soil
As sure as oranges picked from trees
Came from the earth
All we use, or eat, or know
Comes from God's creation 
An old earth—full of water,
Chemicals, and minerals 
Made those first six days
Recycled, reused, reformed, 
Rendered new, 
Endowed with agelessness,
Given to us again 
Fresh from God's hands
Imbued with new life.
