One Nation Under God

I picked a daisy and touched the petals brought by God,
Alongside of the mountain
Where I could see all the views of God's creation
I will not be a fool!
I will not fall with what is cast upon me
I will yell from the mountain top
We are One Nation Under God!

How you feel is understandable. I feel the same way. I think, however, that nonbelievers are predisposed not to see God, and that they might only hear -- maybe -- that 'still small voice' within them... None of what I've written can (or is meant to) detract, however, from the beauty of your poem Heidi! :) gw

It's hard to believe references to God are sometimes banned. Just look at the beauty you describe so well, Heidi. To think this is all happenstance is mindboggling to me. Let me join you in your final line. Excellent and a fave for me, both for the writing and the message. Hugs, Carolyn

You are right Carolyn. It is so hard to believe that and mindboggling it is! Thank you very much for your kind comment and joining me in my final line! Hugs :)

I had to smile, Heidi, because I would be yelling the same thing, only instead of nation, I would substitute the word "world". I truly think there is a universal oneness who created all of us, all of our nations. Like the poem so much!
