The Prodigal Parent
i do not believe
in a God
whose love is limited
i do not believe
in a God
who can only be approached
through one single way
i do not believe
in a God
who has favourites
i do not know
the depth of God’s love
only that it is enough
to engulf me
i cannot say
if God disapproves of you
i can only speak
of what God has done in my life
i think God is the Prodigal parent
who wastefully showers love
on undeserving children –
the wayward one,
and the one who does not understand
love
all i can do is this
to testify to that love
which has touched transformed sustained
me this far
this love i know will lead me
home
