God Winks
God Winks
God winks at our little flaws
and big ones he'll forgive.
God thinks like a Santa Claus
and merely loves to give.
God looks in our little hearts
and big ones he'll reward.
God books all the vital starts
and never pulls the cord.
God backs up our little plans
and big ones he'll assist.
God acts like the greatest fans
and keeps us on the list.
God talks to our little brains
and big ones he'll imbue.
God walks in to see the gains
and always shows the true.
