Are You There?

"Are you there?"
I humbly ask.

"Do you care?"
I plead for an answer.

"Why do I feel so alone?"
My mind begins to question.

"Can you hear my heart moan?"
I sincerely whisper.

- And then what is it I feel? -
His answeres overflowing with love.
I feel I can no longer kneel.

"Here I am dear child."
He gently whispers.

"You are so meek and mild."
He lovingly speaks.

"You come to me with anguish,"
"You speak sad language."

"You ask me if I'm there,"
"Or if I even care."

"You wonder why you feel so alone."
"Oh, yes I can hear your heart moan."

"My dear beloved child, I will always be here!"
"You need not ever fear!"

"I have to let you wonder why,"
And sometimes let you cry."

"Please always know I am there."
"And shall always show I care."
