I saw God

The lady in shreds,

Begging for some bread,

A school boy stops,

And empties his tuck box,

Oh I was glad,

To see the fine lad,

In my heart I gave an applaud,

Cause that is how I saw God!

I walked the path, to the graveyard gate,

A little girl stood, for her granny she prayed,

She put her bouquet on the marble stone

Then plucked a lilly and walked on,

She paused at a old and unattended mound,

Offered her lilly, left me astound.

My heart felt cool in the noon so hot,

Cause that is how I saw God!

I sat by the road, to paint the crossing crowd,

I saw a man walking, all vain and proud

And then in his hands I saw another,

Helping an old lady walk, when no one bothered,

I was touched at the gesture, I may not say it a lot,

But that is how I saw God!

Every day for a moment or two,

I live my life believing in the me & you,

And that is when I am surprised,

By the divine presence in our daily lives,

We may not often give it a thought,

But once everyday, we do see God!
