God raised Lazarus from death
and to lung cancer patients
gave back their breath.
Moses was undrowned by water.
Shadrach was unburned in fire.
Daniel unharmed stood in lions' den.
Joseph escaped from his murdering
relatives.
Alleged adultress was saved
from stones.
The blind were given sight
The deaf could hear
through their ears.
To Balaam spoke the donkey.
while the caring freed the monkeys.
Food was multiplied for thousands.
Trumpets brought down walls.
Prophets were gifted visions.
Some were made invisible
as enemies looked for them.
Droupadi's sari grew by many yards
preventing her rape.
How many hundreds of millions
have been saved from their foes...
healed from disease
rescued from famine and drought
delivered from terrible accidents.
Every day around the world
trees drop free food.
By whatever name God is called upon,
by whatever path of faith we take,
the Divinity dwells within each of us,
ready as an obedient servant
to answer our good desires.
