Mother and Child

“Mother, where is God?

Who made the sea,
The sandy shore,
And the tall green tree?”

“Where is God,
Who made the sky
Understanding the selection:
A large blue space
For things that fly?”
1. Whom is the child looking for?
2. Why did God make a large blue
“Where is God,
space in the sky?
Who made the moon,
3. How does the child in the poem
The still dark night
spend the day?
And the warm bright moon?”
4. How did the mother describe
God?
“Where is God,
5. Where will the child find God?
Who made the day,
A time for me
To work and play?”

“My child, where a tender word is spoken

Where a noble deed is done
Where love is, God is there
For God is love, my little one.”
