CREEDS

“I don’t believe in God.”

I’ve heard dozens of people say that.

When younger I’d react - and argue.

Now that I’m old, I just become quiet
and talk about what you just said
behind your back - but to myself - within
the walls of my inner room - my mind.

I hear myself saying things like,
“Well, I’ll believe in God for you!”

Or I hear God arguing with you, “It’s like you saying, ‘I don’t believe I had a mom or dad - or for that matter grandparents."
Or, “I don’t believe in the color green
or the color of the autumn leaves.”
Or God’s best come back, saying with
a smile, “Good thing, I believe you exist.”
