On this Earth,
Your kids will make their choices—
Which is exactly what
God has put them here to do.

And you and I are not done
Making our choices, either.

And while his silence
May tend to give
A different impression,
God is paying attention, indeed,
And will discuss it with us
Soon enough.

And then we shall discover
Who we are in the aggregate,
If we have not already been
Paying attention to such things.
