Randy's Prayer Poem by Randy McClave

God; are you there
Do you still listen when I pray,
If you still do, I need you Lord
There is so much for me to say.
Do you still listen as I speak
And do you still hear me when I cry,
Because, I know no one else listens to me
And Lord, I just need to know why.
Am I not created by you
As you have created everything else,
But, many times Lord, I am all alone
Even though I am not by myself.
Do I not have pain like everyone else
Do I not also cry out for help,
I am a man, a very lonely man
One who keeps his death, to himself.

Lord, are you awake
If not I'll let you sleep,
I'm sorry if I keep bothering you
And I am sorry if I cause you to weep.
I know that every man has his troubles
And every woman has her woe,
So, I listen to them as I know I should
But, when I speak, they all go.
Lord; do you still love me
I just need to hear that every now and then
Because no one speaks it or shows it from their heart
And I need to strengthen my soul from sin.
Lord, I think I'll leave you now
Thank you, for listening to me,
Now I truly do know, that I'm not alone
Because you are here Lord, for me to believe.
