God Is to Me – a poem by John Reith

God is to Me   by John Reith Jr

God is to me: My friend, my confidante, my inspiration, my guide.
God is to me: the feeling of my toes being engulfed by sand on the beach;
God is to me: the marvel of the waves as they come crashing to the shore;
God is to me: Divine and human, my inner resource;
God is to me: the smile of a stranger
or the closeness and comfort of a friend;
God is to me: the warm rays of the sun shining on the ocean;
the soft wet blessing of a steady rain;
God is to me: the smell and softness of a baby;
the twinkle in the eye of an older person;
God is to me: a beautiful song in my heart;
a small whisper in my brain;
God is to me: second chances and funky dances;
God is to me: my soul brother and divine mother;
love and forgiveness;
God is to me: being engulfed in the present moment;
God is to me: Everywhere and everything.
