TRUST THE EXPERT - a poem

Wedding gowns custom made by Miss Reid,
All fees based on hourly wages.
Your complete satisfaction was guaranteed.
They said she’d been sewing for ages.

Miss Reid kept account of the time she spent;
A mark for each hour she took.
We who could neither sew nor mend
Accepted records she wrote in her book.

There is a God of marvelous ways
Who made the earth and the sky.
He said He was done in seven days
So sometimes I wonder why

A skeptic who could not make a cabbage head
Let alone a planet or star
Tinkered with carbon dating and said
That’s not the way things are.

It couldn’t have happened the way God said
Just seven days? No way.
Be logical and use your head
Millions of years, we should say.

I had faith in Miss Reid when she made my gown
And paid the price she asked.
She was the only seamstress in town
And her experience was vast.

Likewise I believe our Sovereign Lord
Hand crafted each mountain peak
And just as He said in His Holy Word
He made the whole world in a week.
