I Am God

There are some who proclaim themselves to be deists.                                                                                              They claim I do exist but assume no responsibility.                                                                                                         

There are those who say they are atheists.                                                                                                                    They boldly claim that I do not exist.

There are others who are agnostics.                                                                                                                              They claim there’s no way they can know.

But to those who believe in me and stand afar,                                                                                                                     as you ponder what I think, ask me if you dare.

Pause and come to me, and be reassured that I really care.                                                                                                 Many think that I am a mystery; others just stand and stare.

Those who heartily believe and love up close, are rare.                                                                                                  Of their love and desire for me, I am very much aware.

I am always watching you, just waiting to share.                                                                                                                       Your fears and your pain, I do desire to bare.

Do not think that I am far, and somewhere way up there.                                                                                         You need not think that I am just floating out there in the air.

O my child, I even know the color and the texture of your hair.                                                                                        I am Hope; I am Peace; I am Kindness; I am Joy; I am Love.

O come to me, trust in me, and say just a simple prayer.                                                                                                       Dear one, I am here; I am there; I am listening; I am God*
