God does not live in Heaven

Tell the blind how beautiful his eyes are
If he smiles
and throws away his wooden eyes
Have you not done a miracle ?

Give the beggar a coin and a smile
And watch tears drop from his eyes
For I have searched the bowel of beggars
All I saw was sadness not a single smile

God does not live in heaven
For the heaven cannot contain him
And the earth too small for his fingers
God lives in every drop of kindness

Shown to your fellow man
God lives in every piece of love
Broken to put smile on a crying face
God lives in every syllable of words
Spoken to heal a broken heart.

Nice poem. I'm not religious so can't really comment, but, if there is a god, then I think your conception of it is better than most of the other ones out there. A god of kindness and caring. One question: did you mean to say a bowl of beggars, or was bowel used deliberately as a double entendre to make the meaning more obscure?
