My Journey to God

God Bless the Geese

God bless the geese
And winged things
That soar the skies
On gracious wings.

They sing their praises to Our Lord,
Day by day, near and far.
They don’t pretend, they don’t conspire,
They don’t ask “Why?” They simply are.

I love their very goosiness—
Their clamorous calls and waddling walks.
Though loathed by many, grace unseen—
Our Lord’s life, too, was paradox.
