The Hand Of God. Poem by David Boyce

The Hand of God.

The hand of god reached out,
Then taps him on the shoulder,
God says "You still have lots to do,
I will return when you're much older".
He looks up into the lord's eyes and replies,
"Lord I thought this was my time to go",
God replied with a smile and calmly said,
"The answer to that question son is definitely, No!
Return back to your loving family now,
Because you are not dead,
Your body is recuperating,
Whilst they are waiting beside your bed.
You should make a good recovery,
But you will need to watch your health,
Your workload needs to be shortened,
Which may have some impact on your wealth.
Life is full of learning my son,
This is one lesson you don't want to repeat,
Take life a little more relaxed from now on,
And consider what you eat".
