I Saw God, Now What

At first, God would but listen to me As I beseeched him to tell me why many of his creatures were hungry underneath his heavenly, blue sky Why did words of hate and anger spill from lips that, instead, should only sing Because, my child, you must climb each hill and each of you then the answers bring For mountains, meadows and tiny creeks we are the guardians of the wild. In caring for them, we must also care for each other and the homeless child At last, I hoped, I would see God's face But then I noticed his rose-hued skies and in lilac clouds, I saw God's grace and love extended in a sunrise.
