Mom, Who is God? - Visitor's Poem

by Pranitha Devi Wickins
(Pietermaritzburg; kwazulu Natal, South Africa)

My friends cannot help me
Some say he "don't" exist
Some say that his son Jesus
Is nothing but a myth

Cory says that his gang
thinks the bible is a lie
that earth was created by a big bang
from rocks floating in the sky.

Child,

Many have a story
Of what they think is true
the big bang theory of Cory's
is one of quite a few

Who made the rocks they speak of?
or the gravity on earth
or the rule that there will be
No gravity, or birth
in space or other planets
where rocks float and fire consumes
scientists cannot fathom it
God's laws are discovered and assumed

Look how each and every human
that you see on God's green earth
is so different to the millions
- God's creativity in birth

Think of all God's precious creatures
in the sea and on the land
look at how they feed each other
- Ecology by God's hand.

We're created in God's image
but we're limited in our thought
'cos our mind would never manage
if God showed us all we sought

So

some deny his very existence
they deny the love he showed
when he sent his Son Jesus
to reap what we had sowed

...when he showed us
Love is not a feeling
it's an action, it's a verb
it's a selfless act of humility
to the loved ones that we serve

Child,

God's the Alpha and Omega
- with neither beginning nor end-
He's your disciplinarian and provider
and also your only consistent friend.
