GOD AND THE CHILD

Previous

"For in Him we live and move and have our being."—St. Paul

GOD and I in space alone
And nobody else in view:
"And where are the people, oh Lord," I said,
"The earth below and the sky o'erhead
And the dead whom once I knew?"
"That was a dream," the good God said,
"A dream that seemed to be true;
There are no people living or dead,
There is no earth and no sky o'erhead,
There is only Myself—and you."
"Why do I feel no fear?" I asked,
"Meeting you here this way,
For I have sinned, I know full well—
And is there heaven and is there a hell
And is this the judgment day?"
"Nay, all are but dreams," the great God said;
"Dreams that have ceased to be.
There is no such thing as fear or sin,
There is no you and never has been—
There is nothing at all but Me."—Selected
