In the thick

In the thick                                                                                         
 
The nearer you get to God,
the more you take Him for granted.
 
God becomes a necessary routine –
soap to skin, food to belly,
 
the hours allotted for sleep.
Daily we remember God –
 
to give Him His due
until one day we are shown
 
He’s due everything, every moment.
Then, life becomes a prayer.
 
You take it for granted God is there
because it’s His life, His due
 
and where else would God be
but deep in the thick of His own Self?
 
O child of God, make Him the center
until He becomes the everything.
