Last Night

Last night I knelt down to pray,

yet I didn't know what I could say.

“God, sorry it's been a while,

but I feel like there's not reason to smile.”

“Why are people dying out there,

can You even hear my prayer?

Will I go somewhere when I die,

or will I just fade up into the sky?”

As I poured out my soul,

I still did not feel whole.

“Are you there, are You watching me?

Is it really everything You see?”

“Is the Earth really Your making,

or is it just ours for the taking?

Can I know what happens to an innocent child,

if they die without knowing You in the wild?”

I left unsatisfied, there was not much left to say,

I felt like God had left and gone away.

But then I heard a voice, an epiphany,

“You, my child, shall see!”
