Where is G-d?
Is He really there?
It sure looks like
He's not anywhere.
First I looked in the sky.
Couldn't see G-d up there.
Hurried past an old lady,
On her folding chair.
I looked behind bushes -
Never follow your nose!
In one bush it got poked
By the thorn on a rose!
I felt kind of silly -
But I wanted to know.
How can I believe
In a G-d who won't show?
A manhole was uncovered,
So I took a peek.
Didn't think I'd find G-d -
But this was Hide-and-Seek!
I turned over some rocks,
And I climbed up two trees,
But I scurried down one
When I met up with bees!
Found three birds in a nest,
Eating worms with their toes!
It did not look like G-d -
But that's how it goes!
I looked down at an anthill.
I looked through a hose.
I looked in a mailbox -
Well, one never knows...
"What you looking for, sonny?
Can I give you a hand?"
THE OLD LADY! - I jumped!
She'd never understand.
"I'm just looking..." I mumbled,
And tried hard to smile.
"I'm not busy," she said,
"Can I join you awhile?"
"You know what, little fellow?
You remind me - you do -
Way back when I was young,
I looked for G-d, like you.”
But, how did she know?
How much had she seen?
“Where is G-d?” I asked.
She whispered: “In between!”
“G-d hides in the grass,
Within each tiny blade.
He hides under rocks,
In the coolness of shade.”
“G-d hides inside things
That everyone sees.
You can even find G-d
While you're climbing trees!"
"G-d gets down with the ant.
Did you think that G-d can't!
In each bee full of zest -
In each bird in his nest.“
“This whole world's filled with G-d -
Seen with wide-open eyes.
G-d is out here right now,
Tucked within His disguise!”
"You'd already found G-d
By yourself here today.
Right on your own block -
G-d doesn't live far away!”
Now I know where G-d hides.
Up and down every street!
How I thanked my new friend -
It was so great to meet!
Do you know where G-d is?
I think you do.
And now that you know -
You can find G-d too!
