should God remember me as a different person
i hope she is a good soul - i hope she sees
the morning as i do - a sweet wind in the tree,
a wren taken to bush, lilac
and honey soon to come to hand - caught
between light laughter
the bees bumble and refrain
should God meet me at the noon sun
and call someone elses name - could i say
i know the day as well as the lamb in meadow lay
could i say i know my maker as well as robin knows
her speckled nest - or would i be a reflection
of shadows left unseen - oh, cause it does
my wonder, my thought to
meditate
that
if God should remember me at all - i pray she is a kind, kind soul

I noted that you referred to God as "she", a kind, kind soul ~ I hope God knows you well as the robin knows her speckled nest ~
ReplyDeleteReferring to the soul that God remembers - be God male/female. I will leave that up to God...bkm
