It was a long winter evening <br />Father was out of town on tour <br /> <br />We four children two boys and two girls <br />Huddled around Mother coaxing her <br />To tell us stories she had <br />Heard from Grandma <br /> <br />Suddenly a knock on the door <br />Who could that be! <br /> <br />Mother went and opened the door <br />A stranger walked in <br />Unable to place him Ma asked <br />' Who are you? ' <br />He quietly replied, ' I am God ' <br /> <br />We were dumbstruck <br />Our eyes forgot to blink <br />Our tongues lay immobile <br />In our mouths <br /> <br />It was Ma who could <br />Partially recover from the shock <br />She struggled to stutter <br />' Er...why...why did you come? ' <br /> <br />God smiled <br />Said, ' just like that ' <br />And vanished.<br /><br />Shakuntala Sharma<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-god-came-to-our-house/
