The little child wispered,

"God speak to me."

And a meadow lark sang.

But the child did not hear.

So the child yelled,

"God speak to me!"

And the thunder rolled across the sky

But the child did not listen

The child looked around and said..

"God let me see you"

And a star shone brightly

But the child did not notice.

And the child shouted..

"God show me a miracle"

And a life was born

But the child did not know

So the child cried out in despair

"Touch me God , and let me know you are there!"

Where upon God reached down

And touched the child

But the child brushed the butterfly away

And walked away unknowingly.
