The little child whispered,
"God, speak to me"
And a meadowlark 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 didn't 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 that you are here"
Whereupon God reached
down and touched the child.
But the child brushed
the butterfly away, and
walked away unknowingly.
Often times the things
we seek are right
under our noses.
Don't miss out on your
blessings because it isn't
packaged the way you expect.
