Anne's Favorite Poem: "There is no Place where God is Not"

There is no place where God is not;

There is no time when God is not;

Therefore wherever I am, whenever it is,

I am in a good place

Because I am in the presence of God.

God being Omnipresent,

All places contain the good at all times.
