Are You Listening?

God,
I need you!
Are you listening?
I’m in trouble!
Help me!
Do something!
Do it now!
Hurry up,
God!
Are you there!
Are you listening!

Child,
I’m here!
I hear you!
My help
is at hand!
I love you!
Are you listening?
My help
is always
at hand -
but do you notice?
Do you recognise
my hand of love?
Are you listening?
Do you see
when my answer
to your call
is different
from your plea,
but true
to your deeper need?
I love you -
come home!
Come back home!
Are you listening?
