The only prayer on his lip When awake and in sleep ‘God, I always praise your grace, Just for once show me your face’. Years passed his prayers didn’t change Tenaciously pleading if god could arrange To just for once appear before him It’s what he prayed when awake and in dream. At last one night he heard a heavenly voice ‘You’ve prayed hard I’m left with no choice, I can’t endure anymore your sorrow, Going to visit you anytime tomorrow’. Next day found him up early in the morn His hope revived belief reborn God at last had succumbed to his call To appear before him once and for all. He waited for him the whole day long Came other men but god not came along Tears welled in his eyes at god’s deceit He didn’t show up for the promised visit. That night god visited him in his restive dream His face was not seen but he knew it was him God said ‘I honored my commitment to thee, Appeared in many faces but you didn’t recognize me’.
There is no god except within us exhorting us to do good.
