How Small We Are - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

In some ways, the friends of Job
right about one thing
How small we are, how finite
when compared to God

Below the angels, but so far
so far below the creator
unable to even seen his majesty
only the fruits of his labor
the world here below

How small we are,
that he is even aware of us
even mindful that we exist
How much more the creator
above us, ever present
Before and after we walk the earth
