Respect For God
Many a man and woman God has joined
vows were exchanged,
rings symbolize their commitment
and children and a home proved it.
Like God had an unfinished thought
there once was a rock.
The greenness on its shade side
showed no fear of exposure.
Its color and stance suggested pride.
The cycle of countless seasons
had turned a crack into complete separation,
around its skirt lay fallen flakes
like chicks around the hen.
The divide was wide enough
for a curious child to slip between.
Yet it still held the personality
of a single entity.
This rock had witnessed a deer trail
turn into a Indian path,
hence the road name of Indian Trail,
which the new state graveled
and the county finally paved.
The prospect of profit from a cold town
brought a company down beside the road,
trenching a gas line into the ground.
The flakes were buried in deep ruts.
The two parts of the old rock were moved
till they were just boulders
The man and wife divorced,
dividing union, children and home
Man cares little about God’s unfinished thoughts,
and even less about any promises made to God!
