Catechism Paralysis
. for public domain
What words to give a little child,
that God is everywhere,
then let him ponder by himself
its meaning, all alone in peace.
In terms a child understands -
"In my shoes and in my hair,
in every breath I draw and give,
in everything that lives."
"Everything I see and hear,
full of endless Love and Care.
I shall not want for anything,
with everything to share."
So I stood entranced with ecstasy
until my mother, grinning, laughing,
gently took my hand
to gather me back home.
