What makes you always think
that God is a He?
For all that matter
He could be a child with a glee
or simply be a She!

If God is a child
Then he would be playing
with the clouds above
Every now and then looking
at us people fretting and slogging

He would laugh at our betises
and excuse our follies
For no heart can be
benevolent than a child's

He would hug us when we are deplorable
Smile at us when we are huffy
and deliver us from the atrocities.

For all that matter
It could simply be a She
A lovely lady who looks
At us as she dries her long hair
as we plod and trudge

She chuckles as we trip
She nurses us when we slip
and hugs us when we flip

For no heart can be kinder
than that of a woman
No eyes can be as forgiving as her's
She is the one who procreates
She could be the mother of us all.
