For One To Ask This Of Him (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



For One To Ask This Of Him   (Bussokusekika)

I made God cry once
When I asked him to teach me
His ways not man’s ways
He said they were tears of joy
He said he’d waited so long
For one to ask this of him

About this poem

This one is just a silly one I felt compelled to write while My Father deliberates my suggested sentence…I doubt anyone will come forth and return my signet seal before he does declare his final verdict…Oh well…Thus is life…
