Glimpse of God

You were nearly two
I was that plus twenty three
We were playing on the bed
When we saw that
All the green things
Were in their Winter sleep

You giggled
My tickling fingers
Chased you
All over the bed

Then I saw it
The look
You have
When you are
Filled with wonder

You saw the curtain
Grow
With a waft of a breeze

I saw you smile
Like you knew
It was
Him

For Joshua Levi Rothmann

Things are in Things

by Joshua Levi Rothmann

You know Mom things are in things
We are in our Nest
Our Nest is in the Boat
The Boat is in the Sea
The Sea is in the World
The World is in Space
Space is in the Universe
and
The Universe is in Jesus

Said to me during a game after watching
"Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
