God's Soul

Poem for the week’ — “God's Soul”:


God’s Soul is the wind rustling plants and leaves,  

the dew dancing on the grass,  

the rainy breezes making everything to grow.  

Just like this, the kindness of a person flows, touching  

those dragging burdens of longing.  

We should be a breeze helping the homeless,  

dew comforting those who are depressed, 

the cool, misty air refreshing the exhausted,  

and with God’s teaching we have got to feed the hungry: 


This is how we share God’s soul.
