So God - I'm here

So God
I'm here
(in the vast yet finite space my body subsumes)
Perched upon wheels spinning propelling
Proclaiming I AM

Imago dei
Each human has intrinsic value
Four limbed, two limbed, scarred, botoxed, obese, thin, bearded, bald, rich, poor, blind, seeing, deaf ,hearing, walking, rolling, limping
You draw us all near

Who am I to judge
(Tolerance begets more, not less space)
The simplest prayer is heard
Psalmists shout complaints and praise
Let me not be put to shame (by these, mine enemies within and without)

Prayer is not always pretty
Or without doubt

Sometimes it begins with
So God I'm here.

This is absolutely magnificent. I admire the thought and creativity behind this. For we are all pieces to this vast puzzle of humanity.

Your last lines really shine:

"
Prayer is not always pretty
Or without doubt

Sometimes it begins with
So God I'm here."

I love this.

Thank you for sharing and subscribing.
