FACES OF GOD
Sometimes he loves you
with sunshine and flowers,
sometimes he hates you
with famine and tsunami—
but when he hates you,
it’s because he loves you
blinded by stars in his eyes.
If you keep your nose clean,
and follow the Golden Rule,
you might keep God smiling
more often than scowling.
His sunlight in your cheeks
feels like he’s nourishing a
starving part of yourself.
