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.

Reviews

[K. J. Corbin]

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.

[Coyote Poetry]

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.

[Ladysue]

You have spoken much wisdom here. Beautifully and compassionately expressed.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Ladysue. I appreciate your kind words.

[AonghasMackay]

I enjoyed the concept of this poem but it felt a bit heavy and dragged a bit. Then again im not a poem person and I respect anyone who can write a good one seeing as I cant.

[Coyote Poetry]

We are all writers and poets. Just need reason and purpose to write. I kept letter from family when I was in the service. The old letter are poetry for the old heart today. A writer is always learning. It is a lifetime goal to write the perfect book or poem.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, amen to this...god is not found in a building one day a week...he is in our hearts and how we treat others...i have always believed this.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree with your thoughts. We must live a good life to know what it is.

[Rachelle]

This is truly beautiful, Coyote! Ad majorem Dei gloriam!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. We make life what we desire. Took me many years to learn. Love and kindness is the way.

[Tom]

Spiritually serene Coyote, a heartfelt, soulful acclaim!

And God's blessings to you too my poetic friend !

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Tom. I appreciate the kind words.

[Callum]

I felt this one. This really opens your eyes to see the magnitude of God's work. Beautiful words man!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. I heard too many writers looking for answers. I believe easy to find if we open our eyes.

[Ken Simm.]

This is a God I can believe in too. Crucially well written my friend.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Ken. Life is simple. If we try to be kind and know love. Life will be okay.

[ewest1220]

That was incredibly beautiful I'm smiling from ear to ear. It was so simple and beautiful and the pictures added a great touch. Loved it thanks for sharing Coyote!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading and the comment. We need to see and appreciate the beauty of life.

This made me grin so wide, its beautiful.

I'd always considered the use of images in the middle of pieces of writing kind of 'tacky'...well, when carelessly added. Yet for some reason your arrangement of pictures seemed to ease the reader (me) into the poem a little more.

You've taken a subject which most people tend to stay clear of, and you've craved it into something applaud-able with your words and structure, and for that I must commend you, Coyote.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading and the comment. I read a few poem last week. People seeking reasons and answers. I believe we are the reason for our joy or sadness. If all people led with love and kindness. Hate would leave this world.

[Kenneth The Poet]

To me, God is the personification of humanistic perfection. God is the actions we take that make the world a better place. My thoughts anyway.

Great work as always, Coyote.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree with your thoughts. We can improve our world with positive actions or live in a negative world as a naysayer of hope. Thank you for reading and the comment.
