Christian Reflection and Prayer

He was just a little boy,
On a week's first day.
Wandering home from Bible
school, And dawdling on the way.

He scuffed his shoes into the grass;
He even found a caterpillar. He found
a fluffy milkweed pod, And blew out
all the 'filler.'

A bird's nest in a tree overhead, So
wisely placed up so high.. Was
just another wonder, That caught
his eager eye.

A neighbor watched his zigzag
course, And hailed him from the
lawn; Asked him where he'd been
that day And what was going on.

'I've been to Bible School ,'
He said and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggly worm replying,
'I've learned a lot about God.'

'M'm, very fine way,' the neighbor said,
'for a boy to spend his time.' 'If you'll
tell me where God is, I'll give you a
brand new dime.'

Quick as a flash the answer came!
Nor were his accents faint. 'I'll give
you a dollar, Mister, If you can tell
me where God ain't.'
