God Is In The Neighborhood

Wallace Dean LaBenne

God is fair. God is just.
God is in the cosmic dust.
God is kind. God is love.
God is in the turtledove.
God is right. God is true.
God is in the striking view.
God is vast. God is great.
God is in the fourth estate.
God is sharp. God is bright.
God is in the morning light.
God is rule. God is strong.
God is in the minstrel song.
God is joy. God is bliss.
God is in the tender kiss.
God is life. God is breath.
God is in the birth and death.
God is fit. God is good.
God is in the neighborhood.
