I like this kind of poetry - rhyme and rhythm.
I'm not religious, but I like what you're putting across here - that religion and understanding need a lack of hatred. Good point in the current climate.

Really nice job there.
The rhyming and message were both so beautiful together.
Personally, I'm not a very religious person, but I was still able to enjoy it thoroughly.

True. I wonder when exactly that truth starts to fade when we age

a truth denied
I accept that the concepts of innocence, honesty, trust and hope in young children can be attributed to "Godliness".
But I also see children who innocently trust and love abusers and paediophiles, will still pine for the junkie whore mother who leaves them starving in shit to follow her own desires and needs.
Lovely poem in a caring, careful and kind society that most of us would want to live in.
But perhaps in denial of some basic truths that obviously would never apply to your own family.
But I have nothing but admiration for the morality that you are striving to instil in your kids. I hope you succeed
Kind regards
Harmattan

I though it was high time I read some more of your work, especially since I've heard many people on this site speaking highly of it.
This one here was pretty good. It was clear, simple and direct, just the way I like poetry to be. Also, it was a good-natured poem written with a simple understanding and insight into the nature of innocence and the triviality of useless ponderings and mutterings over the word "God".

Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it. This is just another simple poem of mine. I believe I will leave as is however. That line implies that many believe in God but have no idea why.
Thanks for the advice though.

Enjoyed the poem.
I am quickly reminded of the loving smile my 1 year old nephew innocently gives; the smile is so genuine that I run to him, pick him up, and hold him. Then he slaps me in the face and laughs. I put him down and walk away.

I truly enjoyed this poem. Only when looking through the eyes of a child can we really understand God. People try to make it more complicating than it really is. This is definitely one of my faves.
