- "God Made Me" Poem
Here are my fingers, here are my toes
Here are my knees, here is my nose
Here are my feet that help me walk around
Here is my mouth that can make sound
Here are my ears, my shoulders, my belly
Here is my tongue that eats grape jelly
Here is my hair that is crazy you see
Here is my smile that God gave me!

With my eyes, and ears,
a nose, and a mouth.
Thank You, God, for making me.
