My Kind Of God! Poem by Long Tooth

My God's will colors outside of all lines,
Not a child, still He's blessed to be free!
Like a child, there's no evil in my God's design
So, He can't be a slave to what I think should be!

God's so much bigger than I can conceive,
(For me)hard to keep loved ones in mind,
These are only the handful that I get to touch,
Not the galaxy dwellers I'm too small to find.

Greatest dimension of God is the soul?
What a concept! Life's greater than flesh!
Born to learn that stars die, we still leave 'this life' whole,
What God wills, and man sees? Two just never can mesh!

Let God's provision be all I require,
And my faith rest on I am His child,
Count the world as my family, ‘Love' my desire,
Let God's will be my joy, His Grace never reviled!

His Son my anchor, His will inflates sail,
And my service to others the treasure I crave!
His promise my shelter I roam with the whale,
With both eyes on the weather, no fear of the grave!
