Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Ask For Signs

I am not shy
when it comes to God
I ask for signs
eagerly without apology

a rainbow appears almost every year
on my birthday
my sign that he is listening

In sixty-eight years I only remember
One birthday without a rainbow
I was surprised but not disappointed

Today I asked for a sign
I received three
Three tiny bright orange butterflies 
a falcon and a thunderstorm
all letting me know
He says I am on the right path

Ann Gilmour August 10, 2020 at 5:48 AM This is amazing Caren, for I too ask for signs, letting me know that my son and husband are okay and always signs appear - like on a very grey cloudy day the sun breaks through at a specific time and just for that moment. Or a crow will be hopping in front of me (my sons favourite bird) and like you I know these are signs and get great comfort from them. Your words really resonate with me dear friend ~ thank you. With kindest thoughts Ann xx Caren Krutsinger August 10, 2020 at 2:45 PM I truly do know that God will give us what we ask to receive. I am so glad the crow visits.
