Prayer Text

My prayer is like a text I post to God,  

first I compose and write and then I send,  

I don't know if He's got it so I prod,  

until I get an answer from my Friend.  

To catch His beep I need a quiet ear,  

I look with eyes of faith for His reply,

sometimes it is direct and quick and clear,  

or puzzling or surprising bye and bye.  

I need not print or save or store the text,  

or memorize what He will not forget,  

it matters not when I implore the next,  

in Paradise they're on my sobriquet.  

To my prayer-text God's certain to respond,  

no mind that He's beyond the great beyond.
