Dear God, are you there?—

I really wish you were.

I know

I stopped believing

When I was a child

But that doesn’t mean I don’t hope

I am wrong.

I wish there was more

After this…

Just prove to me that you

Exist:

Spark fire

On a bush in my backyard,

Speak

Through thunderous clouds,

Send me

A miracle—

I want to believe!

I wish

You were here:

My life could be better spent.

…

Maybe you do exist and

You would be willing to show yourself

If

You knew I would follow your word

When I found the truth.
