Sometimes we forget

When Sam was six or so, he explained to me why we call God “God”.

Because when you see something so great, you just go, “God”.

Sometimes we forget Lord

that you are

Sometimes we forget

How you are

Who you are

Sometimes we get all wrapped up

In our conversations with the “maniac in our head”

That talks and talks and talks

Endless

stirring up feelings of fear, and anxiety

Sometimes we forget

And then

you send a snowy morning

and snow laden trees

you send the nudge of a cat

the nuzzling nose of a horse

and we remember

and all we can say

is

God!
