Analysis of After the Fall
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Your love is great toward your creatures
All creation abounds with your love
Especially for the sheep of your flock
Although they all push and they shove
Disobedient little creatures they are
And yet you take care of them all
I just wonder how the world would be
If mankind had not ruined it all
