I really love animals and God. I’ve learned about God, who is all good, and His qualities in Christian Science Sunday School, and I really like thinking about them. 

When I was six, I drew pictures and wrote a poem about how animals express qualities of God and how we do, too. Now I’m nine years old, and I am sharing what I wrote with you: 

Turtles reflect patience. 
They are slow and take the time just to see beauty and kindness.
You can do this, too.

Rabbits reflect friendliness,
so they are nice and friendly.
You can do this, too.

Elephants reflect playfulness.
They spurt water out of their trunks with lots of joy.
You can be joyful, too.

Bees reflect helpfulness,
so they help flowers by spreading pollen. 
You can be helpful, too.

Lions reflect bravery.
They are strong, and they don’t fear anything.
You can do this, too. 

I reflect Love,
so I love. 
You can do this, too.

You reflect Love,
so you are loving.
I can do this, too.
