139. I used my powers
I used my money-powerTo buy God.
God smiled, and then cried.
I used my love-power
To buy God.
God cried, and then smiled.
I used my surrender-power
To win God.
God cried and cried.
In God's Smile
I discovered how far
He wants to remain:
Farther than the farthest.
In God's Cry
I discovered how near
He has always been:
Nearer than the nearest.
