I am God's creation
made to spread His word
through my words and actions.

My eyes are cameras,
and my memories the photos.
I take pictures with my eyes
so I can remember all of God's wonders.

My ears are recorders,
listening for God's message
and remembering it.

My mouth is an instrument
and the music is God's teachings.
I can pass along all that i know.

My hands are tools
also working to create
as God created me.

My soul is a dirty mirror,
the stains are my sins.
But i try to clean the mirror
so i can reflect God's light.

My heart is a balloon
expanding with God's love
and the love of others.

Together, all these things make up me.
I am created in God's own image
to createa as God does,
to teach as God does,
to love as God does.
