Where are you God?
By Danie Weaver
Where are you God?
When I am screaming joyfully on the mountain top
When I fought and climbed,
Bruised and battered
Finally able to breathe the clean crisp air
You are in Everything.
The map, the hand-holds and the air.
Where are you God?
When I am in the dark valley
Unable to see anything
Except for a few dim stars
And my tears strangle
You are in Everything
The dark, the dim stars, and the strangling tears.
Where are you God?
When I feel forgotten
When all my friends have kids
And the love I wish to share
Is encapsulated in a tiny outfit?
You are in Everything
The kids, the tiny outfit, and the waiting love.
Where are you God?
When my sadness makes my heart hurt
When my tears make me feel claustrophobic
You are in Everything
The claustrophobia, the heart hurts, and the tears.
Where are you God
When the meanness, hate, and distrust surround
And I feel nervous about the color of my skin
When kindness is drowned by bullets, shouts, and raised fists
You are in Everything
In the shouts, the bullets, and raised hands.
Where are you God?
When the world tilts
And everything brings fear, worry, and anger.
Suddenly I can’t breathe.
You are in Everything
The tilts, the fear, and the gasps for breath.
Where are you God
When I am waiting
Waiting to be a mom,
Waiting, praying, and crying
You are in Everything
The tears, the prayers, and the waiting.
