A God Who Looks Like Me

I want a god who looks like me,

a god who sweats,

who cries,

who bleeds,

a god who breastfeeds

Her babies.

I want a god who has known hunger,

who has known hard work,

known darkness and despair.

I want a god who has struggled

and survived,

walked picket lines,

overcome oppression.

I want a god who loves

and laughs

and rages when required.
