God

God is in our heart. In what we say and do. God is not found in the church. It is how we look at life and how we treat our brothers and sisters.

                            

               God

What is God? God is what we hold dear in our heart.
Religion is the base for the belief in God. Not the foundation.

God is the birth of a new child. Their new life show us. Life is never-ending
God is the coming of a new day.
The hope and trust we can do well and be caring and kind  to the people we are near.




God is the kind words we speak to the people we love.
Teacher of love protect us and care for us.
One day we must repay with a open and a concern heart.

God is in our heart. In what we say and do. God is not found in the church. It is how we
look at life and how we treat our brother and sister.








God is in the eyes of the children.
Every child needing the kindness of safety and protection of love.
God is the person who send a few dollars to the people in need.
God don't see race, color of skin and where you are born.

We must find God in our heart.
Native American believe.

The ancient one must teach the young child.
Kindness and love is the way.
We must stand together and thank the God of life and death.
For the new day and new opportunities.
 
God is everywhere. In the words we speak.
In every act we perform.

Look at the great sea. The open sky.
The grand mountains.  Look at the eyes of the children.




I have never met God in person.
I have touched his gifts of beauty.
I have swam in his oceans. Free-climbed his mountains.
Held a new born baby.

I have touched God and I have learn it is time for us to forget  race, color of skin and learn.
One people on one earth. We must get along.
One child lost to starvation, sickness or war.
Should break all people hearts.

I enjoyed this very much, I feel I followed the message completely and agree, I however found "foundation" and "base" to be similar choices in wording of the second line. I may be incorrect in my understanding of the wording, but I feel that to be a very powerful line that has drawn confusion and withdrawal to those looking to find understanding of God for centuries saying, "If he's not in church, where do I find him? And if I find him through the world, is that Paganism?"
Aside from my nit-picking I feel very thankful to have read your great poem.

You will find him in your heart. Every action we do we must understand the consequences. Church is a good place to gather and worship but living a good life and doing the right things is the key. Thank you for reading and the comment.

God is love, is life. It's in the morning here and what a lovely poem this is to read while embracing the beginning of a new day.

Amen, an excellent write about God. I agree with everything you've said here my friend.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Mark. I do appreciate the comment.

It's sad we all don't believe that every life is important. A true Christian believes this but that isn't necessary for one to believe. In our society today this isn't true any longer. It's how much you produce that makes your life worth while or not, worth saving or not.

Very profound write and so true.

[Coyote Poetry]

This is beautiful. It really made my morning, and it was nice being reminded that we never have to look too far for God...because He is within us :)

[Coyote Poetry]

He is. Thank you Bronwen for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

Lovely! God is within the self, so I always say...heaven is within...the tears we cry that empathise and reflect the loss in the world, the smiles we radiate and share and beam to one another in hope they illuminate someone elses day...the precious gifts and the sorrowful memories...all part and parcel of...God...

Wonderful work hon x
