Santo Nino 4 - Is this our God?

This poem is really a continuation of the ideas I explored in my previous post, but as that was already long enough I decided to offer this as a separate post, which delay, incidentally, gave me time to do a picture to go with it.

Baby eyes of a child’s wonderment

Discovering a world of joys and pains

Watching, waiting, hoping, fearing

Is this our God?

Tiny fingers reaching up

Crying out for another’s help

Living, breathing, loving, dying

Is this our God?

True Love hiding nothing in humanity

Breaking barriers and removing masks

Choosing, daring, feeling, being,

Is this our God?

The vulnerability of love

To the point of life

And death

And what is it we are asking for

As we pray to our vulnerable God?
