A Metaphor for God

What is the metaphor for God in me?
Our brother Christ says He’s Our Father true,
yet just like God my dad could never be,  
Creator and Sustainer through and through.

Christ Incarnation came down from above,
a metaphor for brother, closest friend,
willing to die for me, so full of love,
to daily be my Eucharist to the end.

How is the Holy Spirit in my soul?
Not Father, Brother, but a guide is He,
the Paraclete to comfort, guard’s His role,
as friend to inspire in spiritual mystery.

This Trinity of Lovers evermore,
I cannot really find a metaphor.
