Analysis of GOD IS EVERYWHERE (Poem #14)
God is everywhere, this I surely know.
I see Him in the bushes and flowers that grow.
The snow shines with His magical glow.
I'm so happy to see Him wherever I go.
I know He was with me when I gave birth,
He is with me in sadness and surely in mirth.
He follows me wherever I should roam,
Whether it be far away or right here at home.
I see Him in the moon with its shining face,
And He walks here beside me and fills me with grace.
I look up to heaven and I look out to sea.
Everywhere it seems He is following me.
Sometimes I feel Him, His arms all around.
And I hear Him, too, in the wind whispering down.
He is with me in sickness and when I am well.
There are so many glorious stories to tell.
He'll come sit beside me on this beautiful day,
And greet me at heaven's gate when it's my time to stay.
