I Believe

By bgfay

My mother and father rasied me
to believe that on Easter Sunday
He rose from the dead.
My wife is raising our children
to believe that He has yet to come
down to this Earth and save us.

Me, I believe in soft green grass
rising again from the brown earth
and in this blue sky arcing over me.
Each day is holy and the sky is infinite.
I turn my face up into it and smile
as if the warm sun were the face of God.
