Don’t Stop Shy, At Only Half the Why

By Bob Frengel

A prayer for the Atheists who don’t look far enough (and mock those who look to God)

To the atheists who mock people of faith:

Your belief that things just are, is more faith than that you mock

You stop short at the HOW, and at the WHO, you scoff

But Science without spirit that’s Mechanics without Meaning

You stop shy at only half the why.

The marvels that comprise a life are so intricately entwined

The depth of it’s complexity should simply blow your mind

Each piece we discover only causes us to yearn

The more we learn, the more we learn the more we need to learn

Your belief that things just are, is more faith than that you mock

You stop short at the HOW, and at the WHO, you scoff

But Science without spirit that’s Principles without Purpose

You stop shy at only half the why.

How can this all just be all it takes, to make you and me

Don’t stop shy at only half the why

For if we stop to ponder it should only make us turn

To the Creator of all this wonder the Breath Who brought the form

Your belief that things just are, is more faith than that you mock

You stop short at the HOW, and at the WHO, you scoff

But Science without spirit that’s a body, without a soul

You stop shy at only half the why.
