The Creator,
Took the strength of a mountain
The majesty of a tree.
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea.
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night.
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the Thunderbird’s flight.
When the Creator combined these qualities,
There was nothing more to cram
His masterpiece was now complete,
He lovingly called it, Sam.
