Poetry: God

by Patricia Parker

God is there, I know not where

But I am sure He lives

He's with me in my darkest hours

He loves and He forgives

I've cursed his name, denied His life

Blamed him for all of my life's strife

While others thanked him for their grace

I called them naive to their face

I saw a rainbow in the sky

And watched a fledgling eagle fly

I welcomed spring and blooming trees

Yet never thought God part of these

Yet still I thought He has to be

But where remained a mystery

And then one day I needed him

Confessing to a grievous sin

I asked this unseen God in prayer

To let me know that He was there

He stepped into my life that hour

And showed me his almighty power

God is there, and now I'm sure

His love is everlasting, pure

I found what I was searching for

There are no mysteries anymore.
