What I Can Do

I can think of many things
I can speak with knowledge,
I can learn most anything
I can teach when you listen.

I can observe through my eyes
I can hear the softest notes
I can touch what is there
I can teach these things to you.

I can comprehend complex problems
and solve them most of the time,
all these things I can do
and give them all to you.

When I try to think of God
I cannot speak nor comprehend,
nor even imagine
who God is.

I cannot speak
I cannot say the words,
I cannot imagine
or conjure up a thought.

I cannot teach;
you cannot listen.
Each of us is on our own
in knowing who God is.

Paul J. Wolf 3/3/11
