There in the soft touch of children;
I saw Him in their every mien,
Only God gives the rain.
I see God in grasses as they grow -
He was there in the kaleidoscope of the rainbow.
I see God in a peaceful zephyr as it blows,
He was there in children's faces all aglow.
I saw God as doves of the sky fly;
He was there in a widow's outcry.
I see Him as the sun shines out of an azure sky.
He was there as passenger planes fly.
I see God as snowflakes drop in the plateau of Niger,
He was there in the perishing clime of the Scandinavia.
I saw Him in the air currents of Biafra -
He was there in the Yuletide euphoria.
I see God as the surf gushes to the shore.
As children scuttle around the sandy shore,
Playing, giggling, and gleeing with ardor,
I see God in their allure.
I saw God in the yester years.
He is here in my adult days;
He was there in my juvenile years.
I see Him in these halcyon days.
