National Poetry Month : Poem Number One

For inspiration I went back one of my favorite books.

The Dancing Bear by Laura McCullough

She has a poem on page 61 called The Intention of Sky and Love.
(If she grants me permission to reprint it here? I will share)

Her poem, inspired this...

The Intention Of The Sky
Inspired by a poem from Laura McCullough

And just before hitting the "on" switch for earth...
God said
I'm gonna gift mankind a sky
One of the men on God's staff said
"Really?
I mean their men.
It'll take them at least a hundred years to get more than 15..20 feet off the ground."
God sighed and said
"I know...and who knows how much longer if they aren't smart enough to work with the women I gave them."
Then one of the women on God's staff said...
"Yeesh. If these men creatures are that dense why waste a sky on them at all."
God answered
"Because...For The Best Reason in The Universe"
(translated in English means Because I Love Them)
"I am gifting them the sky...
to bless them with something reach for...
and...
to have one place in their world...where they can share all their dreams
in any language they choose."

The man on God's staff looked at his own wings and wondered what adventures he missed because he always just flew "Because... because."
(translated means Because We Always)

The woman on God's staff put a gentle hand on God's shoulder and said...
"God...That's Beautiful"
God Smirked That Same Smirk He Gave Basket Ball Players When They Hit A Game Winning Shot
and answered them both...
"I Know Right? That's why I'm God"
