The child whispered, “God, speak to me”
And a meadowlark sang. The
child did not hear.
So the child yelled, “God, speak to me!”
And the
thunder rolled across the sky
But the child did not listen.
The child
looked around and said, “God, let me see you”
and a star shone brightly.

But the child did not notice
And the child shouted, “God, show me a
miracle!”
And a life was born but the child did not know.
So the child
cried out in despair, “Touch me, God, and let me know you
are here!”
Whereupon God reached down
And touched the child.
But the child brushed
the butterfly away
And walked away unknowingly.
