You

I remember when I first read your book,

all the wonderful things that you have done.

So I asked mum when I would get to meet you,

she said, 'Hopefully not for a long time, precious one.'

 

When I asked the old man when he would see you,

he said 'Probably in a little while.'

I asked if I could go with him to meet you,

he shook his head and walked away with a smile.

 

The man in robes preached of your kindness,

and I asked him why you never spoke to me.

He said 'Open your heart dear child,

he is always there, you just need to see.'

 

I remember when I screamed aloud for help,

when I prayed for you to take away my tears.

There was no guiding voice, there was no guidance,

that was when my faith disappeared.

 

I will always question your existence,

and I think that that is fair.

If I have never seen you, heard or felt you,

why should I believe that you are there?
