The Faces of God

I have seen the "face" of God Hidden….in the hands of weeping children I have seen the “eyes” of God Broken windows of tortured souls I have heard the “voice” of God Tarnished by a preacher’s need I have seen the “faces” of God Looking back at me And wonder ………what do they see.

Hello John Lawless, we will never know what they see. We only can wonder. Enjoy y

Actually true. God in-dwells all beings even though we’re seemingly allowed limited free will. The spiritual way of looking at other forms is to see God’s spirit and not outer form. Deep poem, John. I hope it’s widely read. Thanks for sharing.
