Prayer Texts

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.
