It simply will not go away.
It rolls around inside my head,
It's words are begging to be said.
Two little words; one simple thought
I introduce to you "God-talk.."
God-talks are anything one hears,
That serves to bring our Father near.
God-talks are anything one sees,
That seems to take one to his knees.
God -talks are anything one feels,
That to his Master will appeal.
In other words, the term, God-talk,
Can be anything that God has wrought,
That touches heart or touches soul,
That helps a man become more whole
God -talk can be a single word,
A repeat of things already heard.
A lengthy speech, a fleeting thought,
any of those defines God-talk.
A painting, a poem, a song, a prayer,
Blue sky, deep ocean, refreshing spring air.
The stars, the moon, the warm shining sun,
Each and all and everyone.
God-talks are together, or each on its own,
A thought congregation, or a thought all alone.
A line in a letter, a God-bless-my-friend,
I don't think my God-talks will ever end.
I have a friend that I love lots,
She often write me with God-talks.
If she doesn't mention God each time,
I search her letters 'til I find
A God-talk she has tucked within,
Though she's unconscious of my whim.
I find God-talks most everywhere,
Even when they are not there.
I know if I'm open and I'm free,
God will talk directly to me.
So now I share with you my thoughts,
I am convinced they are God-talks.
