The Blessing

But, “God bless you,” she says And what can I say? For me, there is no god No celestial spirit that has made the stars and can bless me. But, “God bless you,” she says I have been godless all my life. God is not part of my essence. But, “God bless you,” she says I have looked for god and gods and have not found it and do not want to find it. But, “God bless you,” she says, “God bless you,” I understand this sincerity and respect it. But I don’t want a deep discussion. She doesn’t want a discussion. All I can say is, “Thank you.”
