I See God Poem by Cherie Mort

I see God in the innocence of children
I see God in the clarity of the priest's sermon
I see God in the rainfall as it washes everything clean;
As it purifies the physical, so God purifies the spiritual

I see God in the fog enshrouding my eyes, when the clouds break and the sun shines
I see God in the goodness of the land, the bounty of the harvest, the calm of nature
I see God as the Son in His mother's arms as she rocks Him to sleep with an ancient lullaby
I see God as the selfless sacrifice upon the cross

I see God as the Resurrection, the hope after death, the eternal life in joy and peace
I see God in the icons we venerate, the windows through which we can see Heaven

I see God in the kindness of the people around me
I see God in the selfless actions of the brave and courageous
I see God in the mercy He gives for our humility
I see God in the tears of the grateful living
I see God in the peaceful smiles of the departed
I see God through the eyes of those who are clairvoyant and wise

I see God,
And God sees me
