Eating Twinkies With God

Eating Twinkies with God The little boy walked into the park the sun was shining very bright he saw a lady old and frail the sun reflected on her hair Who is this lady, the little boy thought with her hair so full of light With two Twinkies in his bag and a coke in his hand he walked to the bench and offered her one she accepted it gladly but no word came from her except a bright smile and after a while she had eaten, he shared his coke and no word came from her except for that smile then she held onto her cane , rose up and left The child hurried home and said to his mom I went to the park and had Twinkies with God but she was very old, now isn't that odd? his mom looked at him and said God touched your heart and you did something nice you saw God through her face now here's my advice when you grow up and I am old just think of the lady in the park The old lady came home and entered her house she hung up her cane and said to her spouse I went to the park and had Twinkies with God but he was just a child, now isn't that odd? © Ralph Sergi

That, my friend is a beautiful poem and so well written. Enjoyed it from start to finish and it will go into my favorites. To see others as God sees us is truly a gift. So well done, Ralph.

Hi Robert: Thank you for the comment. Honestly, I took it from a parable heard in a church once and I put it in a poetic form.

ralph, it was on google but also youtube has the story being read to a group of little kids in a classroom! You portrayed the story nicely with rhyme.

This is utterly brilliant! I believe I have just read a poem written by God and he used the hand of a poet to write it, "now isn't that odd?"

wow, this is amazing. Best poem I read today. I just saw on google that you wrote it from a story that is on youtube, but I think you did a great job adapting it to poetry form.
