A Letter To God
Every time I pray to you all I hear is my own voice
it lead me to believe I was alone with no choice
but once I thought about it
I realized it was you no doubt about it
what did I expect you to sound like
a great clashing of thunder
with echoing booms
that with vibrations would shake a room
no of course not for I am in you
and you are in me
when you speak to me I hear it in my voice
for you gave me a voice to begin with
I am on loan from you to return to you
slightly used and broken
but none the less I am all yours
I was never alone on all those lonely nights
when the despair crept up to choke me
you were there watching over me
the proof I need is the air I breathe
and to your bosom I shall cleave
for in one instance I realize
that with new eyes I see you everywhere
I was never alone it just felt that way
for I failed to see what was right in front me all alone.
