God Is Not A Game Show Host Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

God is not a game show host:

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

there to give you what you wish



Spin the wheels and you are rich

He who made the sun and stars

there to shower you with cars



He who made the angels sing

there to pluck you diamond rings.

nothing in this world compares



just to knowing that He cares.

go out on a shopping spree

if that's all you want to be.


as for me, I'd rather have

God as He is

not a wheedled Dad.
