A Kinder Gentler God

As we look around the world today we see
with God as our father in trouble all are we

Fathers as you know, often have a tendency
towards discipline, judgement and wrath
while grandparents almost always
take a wiser, gentler path

There may be much to learn
as we choose, or create our deity
from the Blackfoot, Sioux and Cree 
who still gather at Grandfather's knee

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada which honours the survivors of residential schools and their families, as well as the children who never returned home.
