I think mother was God, for she fed me
father too, for he clothed me so well
and my teacher was God for he taught me
and my friends were God too, for they cared

but my need for food soon will be over
and new clothes I already resist
learning days are long gone for this rover
for the last time soon I will be kissed

so was God only there for my lifetime?
without me, could a God ever be?
or is God only there when we need him?
only present when he's being missed?

or perhaps I got the whole thing backwards;
then the truth is decidedly odd:
god is those we depend on and cherish
and if loved back - we too feel like god.


Just some loose thinking resulting from reading this thread.
