Rachael Asks Good Questions Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Rachael is four...
Rachael asks good questions...
What is God?
Why do we have to pray to God?

Is there any human being on earth
who does not ask these questions
eventually at some time during their life?


Some individuals
reflecting upon world events
reflecting upon world history
will be forced to ask

these questions
multiple times
throughout their lives...


And the answers are...
there are as many answers
as there are differing cultures
ethnicities religions biases...

Rachael is going to
a birthday party today
but Rachael is afraid of clowns...


Rachael asked her mother
did you ring your friend
to ask what the clown
will be wearing at the party?

Rachael said I am not afraid of the clown
any more I prayed to God...
an example of remarkable faith in a child...
