Where God is...

He was just a little boy,

on a week's first day.

wandering home from Sunday School,
and dawdling along the way.

He scuffed his shoes into the grass;

he found a caterpillar.
He found a fluffy milkweed pod,

and blew out all the "filler."

A bird's nest in a tree over head,

so wisely placed on high
Was just another wonder,

that caught his eager eye.

A neighbor watched his zig zag course,

and hailed him from the lawn;
Asked him where he'd been that day,

and what was going on.

"I've been to Bible School," he said

and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggley worm,

replying, "I've learned a lot of God."

"M'm very fine way," the neighbor said,

"for a boy to spend his time."
"If you'll tell me where God is,

I'll give you a brand new dime."

Quick as a flash the answer came!

Nor were his accents faint,
"I'll give you a dollar Mister,

if you can tell me where God ain't!"
