The child whispered, "God, speak to me"
The child looked around and said,
Whereupon God reached down
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.
"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!"
And touched the child.
But the child brushed the butterfly away
And walked away unknowingly.
