Apart from Nature there is a God known as the God Within <br />Found in every child in every Land for children are free of sin <br />A God within in every child or so 'twould seem that way <br />But most adults lose their God within though to another God they do pray <br />All children born with their God Within and sad am I to say <br />That as we age our God Within from some of us tend to stray <br />Forced to leave us by the Ego by it crowded out of our mind's space <br />For the kind and compassionate Inner God in our being there is no place, <br />A God Within in every child that's how 'twould seem to me <br />Though with that sort of thinking there are many who would choose to disagree <br />Of a God Within they will tell you there is no such a thing <br />Of the praises of their God Up There they only wish to sing <br />Most of us do lose our Inner God to too much love of self and greed <br />And the innocence of children is a Godlike thing indeed.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-god-within-in-every-child/
