God's Hand

Ingrid Oliphant

So, yeah

God touched me the other day

Reached out a mighty hand

and laid it on the top of my

head

Blessed me in the sight of another

Benediction for some thing or

other

I'm sure


The way opened with Her words,

The Word of another Messenger,

God, too, don't ya know. She said,

"I hear you sister"


The hand sat and settled

and I carried on with

the things that make a day

a day.


Funny that, I said, and her reply

indicated that it really was a Big Deal

damn-near a miracle.


Na, I said.

The miracle is that kind of blessing

come from a human hand.

And my heart sighed her a little sigh.
