DIVINE  SNEAK

You know God is sneaky.
Right? You know God likes to sneak
into kisses and pats on the back,
a dad having a catch with his son,
a mom buying her daughter a straw hat,
both bringing kids out for ice cream
or a Super Shake on a summer’s night.
God loves visiting old folks and flying
kites and being with the kid who is
the first one to hit the waves at the beach.
You know God is in prisons and cancer
treatments and conversations with three
women walking at 7:45 each morning.
You know that right? Come on now
don’t give me the line, “I’ve given up
on all this religious stuff years and years
ago. Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffftttttt.”
