Poems

The magnificent

God was there—
protecting, guiding,
saving—
putting mortal drama
in its place
as nothingness—
voiceless. 

Looking back
it felt perfect,
amazing—
Love’s saving grace,
the calm knowing that
God is always acting,
ever present,
and even more
than that,
omnipotent! 

But is it really amazing?
Really a miracle 
that God
was there? 

God is forever with us.
In all cases we are
one with 
the serenity of Soul,   
the radiant realities of Truth,
the proofs of Principle’s 
unassailability.
One with God! 

This fact deserves 
great gratitude,
songs of praise,
a “Hallelujah,
the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!”
or,
a simple “thank You, God,
for being You
and doing as You always do.” 

God’s care is not amazing,
not miraculous,
it is just simply . . .  
magnificent!
