In Not Finding God I Find God. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

In Not Finding God I Find God.

Rating: 5.0


When i am not able to find you my God
i find you.

In not finding i find you.

Not finding God is positive.

At the bed of a cancer patient
i talked about God.
He got angry with me.
‘Please stop this nonsense'.

i wanted to go away.
Then he turned and asked me
when will you come again?
I want your presence,
not your talk about God.

Before he died he told me
I found God in your loving presence.
I know and believe in God.
We can never understand God
with our arguments.
Human intelligence is too small for that.

That is why I did not want to hear you
talking about God.
In not finding God, God is present.

He died on my lap.
(Using the small 'i' is purposeful.
This is not here presented as a poem. i like to present ideas that may help a man or a woman who seek the presence of God)

Yes this is very true, in not finding God - God finds us!

Dr. Tony, you have through your prose poem narrated a poignant episode, touching the very core of the heart. The dying gentleman (so blessed to die on your lap) did not realise that he was, indeed, talking, touching, hearing God through your presence! . Yes of course! A full score for you, dear Dr. Tony for this heart rending poem.
