Fast Prayer

You know, there's nothing faster than a prayer,
and gone to God, how farther can it go?
I can't miss aimed at Him Who's everywhere,
close God, fast prayer, well, guess who's being slow?

If I have doubts, so what? I still can pray,
conversing's what He really likes to do,
it doesn't even matter what I say,
God reads my heart, He just hopes I come through.

He wants some faith, some work, at least a try,
He doesn't mind it messy and unneat,
He does want me to see when He goes by,
He'll do the dance if just our glances meet.

O God, You really do not ask for much,
You wait above a little love, a touch.
