love's recognition

sometimes things come to an end
          and sometimes things go so slow

i wonder if that is how God feels
          as He looks down - " I sent her

and now look she's lost, she prayed
          so I'll make it so a cat suffers deep

humiliation and gets photographed
          as he is walked on a leash for her smile

now her match has made her sad, yet
          she has made him smile, now his knee

hurts and oh look over there, my other
          son has lost more weight, I will add

unconditional love and send three
          beautiful labs and a dog named boo

yet as he learns he is still sad at the loss
          of time and her - so I'll prepare another

for him and if they all but took a moment
          to glance about - their hearts would beat

still all I get from all of them is a few smiles
          a few giggles, but not the laughter I so crave
                                                                      to hear."

          sometimes things come to an end
                    and even for God sometimes things go so slow
