On Knowing God

Oh what is man that he might cast his puny brain
around the grandeur of the True and Living God?

Or can the mind that feels the limits of both birth
and death begin to know the endlessness of God?

No. The simple faith of those who pray to God above
belie this fact: Eternity can not be bound.

And yet the Holy Writ proclaims to all that man
is nothing but the offspring of the Living God.

That man has traces of divine within his soul
and given time can grow to know the God of Love.

How long before this todd'ling child will undrestand
the loving God above, who often slaps his hand?
