a childlike soul ...

Missing image
Oh God

You are never irritated
never repulsive

constantly affectionate
unceasingly basic and
clean

despite our slips
you are a Simon-pure nucleus

a childlike soul
raising your silky hands to bless us
time immemorial

Oh God...

    For He is indifferent...perfectly indifferent...it is we who 'slip' and fall in the mud, so to speak...interesting concept. Peace, Rhonda

    Your words are always different but always you say the same - your imprecision and your love and faith for Him. Another great written poem.

    GOLD, GOLD, GOLD!

    Oh, dear friend, this is such an awesome piece reflecting the Truth of God. . . and His Christ! The one message I repeat so frequently is the simplicity of God and Christ: they are not these "impossible dieties to please," as so many denominations teach. Rather, they would have their followers believe that of God and Christ as an excuse to keep sinning. It is like spitting in the face of our generous and gracious Father.

    As I said in the "verdict," this piece should and must garner the gold, as truth always should. Thank you for this reminder of who and what is my Father and His Christ, our Saviour. In the midst of the trials Satan has placed upon me in the past year and a half, there are times when I truly need such reminders; those times when the going is so rough that I find myself wanting to just give up: yet, I know He has never dropped me and never will.

    Much love and hugs, SisBon
