View of God.

Goldfinch60

The class was in session,

The subject was art.

The paint went everywhere

As the children splashed it,

All over the paper, walls ceiling, floor.

The teacher walked round

Looking at each creation,

A house here,

Countryside there.

Pets and parents,

Friends and toys.

All manner of things,

Subjected to the rigours

Of the children’s creative minds.

Then she came to the last one,

The teacher had no idea

What this creation was.

So the artist was asked,

“What are you painting?”

“God” the young lady replied,

“But nobody knows what God looks like”

Said the teacher.

“You will when I have finished this!!”

Said the girl.

    Oohh heehee. I may have heard that one before. But a fine write again G/F. As in one hymn:
    'Thou art a sun without a sphere' and
    'Thy place is everywhere'.

                You've got to love the audacity of a confident young child! Some of the new ones coming in now are quite remarkable souls. Cute poem, Goldie.
