Dear Dog

Am I to judge? No.
I am meant to know
Whether I will live or die
Wither or to grow
I may never plant my seed 
I will let that go
If only you can bring to me hope and overflow
Show me a sign of unmistakable faith
If you will not yield to me
The Devil in it’s place
For angels may sing out for me but, Satan has a face
I’ve seen him many times
In darkness and in light
My question still remains 
Is this wrong or right?
Toil and turn
Sizzle and burn
Is it a sin to yearn?
For guidance, for truth I always seek
I have yet to find my way
For this you call me weak
So I may call out to you but, never hear you speak?
Tell me which way to go 
Tell me what I SHOULD be
For I am lost and broken
I no longer see
If you are truth then you can set me free
You can bring me solace
You can bring me home 
A place I’ve always wondered
A place I’ve never known
They tell me that to reach you all I need is prayer
Then I pray that you hear my call 
I send it from despair
