Denial

IT never would have hurt God
  To have made the world today
  So that your footsteps turned my way,
So that our two paths crossed–
  But I went wearily up and down
  The streets of the empty-painted town
And a whole day was lost!

Never your footsteps where mine trod,
  Never my words to you–
And it all would have been so simple for God,
  So slight a thing to do!
