OT: Where God Ain't

[Guest guest]

" WHERE GOD AIN'T "

He was just a little boy, on a week's first day.

He was wandering home from Sunday School, and dawdling

on the way.

He scuffed his shoes into the grass; he 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 on high.

Was just another wonder that caught his eager eye.

A neighbor watched his zig zag 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 of

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. "
