Memories flitter,
but thoughts never linger
Memories flitter,
but thoughts never linger
God didn’t have to create beauty
but He did
God didn’t have to create color
He could have made the world only in shades of orange
but He created too many colors for us to count
God didn’t have to create smiles
He could have dulled us to emotion
but He created that feeling you get inside
when you know you are loved and that you love
God didn’t have to create rhythm
He could have made sounds dissociated from each other
but He created melodies that resound in your head
and march with your heartbeat
God didn’t have to create memory
He could have unhooked us from time
and only exist in the present
so much heartache and regret would be wiped away
and with it would be childhood friends and the smell of fresh cut grass
but He created moments that last forever in hearts
God didn’t have to create communication
He could have made us live in our own secluded existence
and prevent fighting and harsh words
and prevent jokes and “I love you”
but He created over six thousand languages
and countless ways to say “happy”
God didn’t have to create anything
but He did
I think God is an optimist
and we should admire the extravagance of a sunset
and not the ending of a day
God created beauty because He wanted to
Never get lost in the Sauce
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
