Being God

Being God and raising children are very similar responsibilities.
Our mother is our God during our years of infancy
and we are all God's children according to Holy Scripture philosophy,
yet many devoted loving mothers lose their children fatally
during rare moments of inattentiveness unfortunately
as God too loses children occasionally
in catastrophes that God was too distracted to foresee most likely.
At the height of the most tragic of tragedies
the question begs, "How could God allow this to be?"
The answer in my opinion can be stated quite simply.
If God made us in God's image truly,
then God too is prone to our weaknesses and fallibilities.
In short, God gets careless occasionally,
and is it any wonder given all of God's many responsibilities?

I love the simplicity of this poem, the fallible God.
