WHEN GOD LEAVES US -Poetry

Often: our pride, our grandiosity, our selfishness

And our idols, placing our worship in the wrong places,

Giving to an unknown God, an ideal that will only fail us.

Lost, is the love for our neighbor; vanished is the care in our hearts.

We’ve built our empire alone.

We need no one, especially God.

Yet when we think we can do something on our own.

God grants us that chance,

And leaves us to do it alone.
