GOD, WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?

 

He was walking in the empty fields

Except for all the birds

And God was walking with him

When suddenly he turned to God

And he asked Him,

“God, why don’t You walk with me every day?”

And God replied:

“Son, why don’t you turn to Me every day?”

And then he was sitting in the plain fields

Except for all the lilies

And God was sitting with him

When suddenly he reached toward God

And he asked Him,

“God, why don’t You speak to me every hour?”

And God replied:

“Son, why don’t you listen to Me every hour?”

And then he was lying in the quiet fields

Except for all the laughter

And God was with him.

 

He was looking up into the crisp blue sky

Wondering why the sky is blue

Though science had taught him all about

Wavelengths and Rayleigh scattering.

And he was listening to the laughter

Wondering why love isn’t so extroverted

Though life had taught him all about

Introversion and overt sarcasm.

And he was admiring the arrayed lilies

Wondering why he worried

Though God was with him

As he lay in the shadow of His wings.

And he watched a bird

Fly in to the sun.
