Under the tree of wisdom

There was God and the devil;

And you and me.

Gathered to gain wisdom;

Under the wisdom tree.

The tree of wisdom spoke to me:

“If you were to choose betwixt God and she;

What would thy choice be?”

“Thinking of God brings me peace,” I said,

“She brings joy and laughter to me.

“He is mighty and powerful;

And so vulnerable is she.

“He is all knowing, all forgiving;

And so naive is she.”

And with these words my love

I chose you to He.

The devil laughed a laugh of triumph;

But God smiled at me.

For the depth of my love for you;

Only He can see.
