Su'eddie Agema
I can show you God
not the one who flies on wings in tales
nor the one to whom you fling your many wails
no, God is not the spirit who lives in castles too far
neither the one we blame for our every scar…
truly, there is an almighty being
who lives above the troubles of our sin
God is that look that follows you from eyes in the streets
yes, look more, for i will show you God
God is the care that stretches a hand to caress others’ needs
God is the goodness that all of us greet
the Being that makes our hearts beat
sprouting lives and planting good deeds to sow better seeds
God is the smile that appears in your hand
the beauty you stretch to every land
the strength that keeps you strong
when your set course goes wrong
God is what you feel
when you are calm and still…
even at times when the strain of sorrow pulls at your heart
and life tries to tear you apart…
God is humanity’s hold to a better day
a soothing word said come what may
the beginning of the ease
to bring us peace
I can show you God and sHe lives in the many and the few
yes, the Almighty is the entirety of me and of you.
