As a girl everything moved according to a divine plan
God was in everything, the sky, the earth and every grain of sand
his message of love whispered in the breeze
and a scolding, like a thunder clap kept my attention
to stay on the right path
but adolescences changed everything
doubt seeped in every pore and questions crowded
old practices of meditation and prayer
Parenthood made me god in the lives of my children
giving love and sustenance for their safety and growth
I was the angel who watched over them
until they moved away from home to start lives of their own
Now that I am alone I can feel God all around me once again.
