When God and I Speak 

When God and I speak we don’t always see eye to eye 

He or she has plans for world peace 

I have a plan for a second cup of coffee 

He or she is a being of pure light 

I am a being with peanut butter stuck in his teeth 

He or she is tireless 

Me, I’m sometimes tired before I get up 

He or she is in everything 

Me, I’m in a room 12 by 10 

He or she stops at nothing 

I stop for tea breaks 

Timidly I ask God what his or her plan is for me 

The answer comes that I am to find perfection within 

To live in harmony with my fellow human beings 

and with nature 

And to take part in a New Golden Age 

It’s at that point I look round to see 

If God is really talking to someone else.
