HELLO MR. GOD

By:  Laura Mirabal

THE SUNRISE IS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD

THIS IS YOUR WAY OF SAYING “HELLO”.

THE BIRDS THAT SING TO ME ALL DAY,

ARE SPEAKING FOR YOU IN MELODIOUS WAYS.

THE DEW ON THE TREES AND FLOWERS AND GRASS,

ARE THE TEARS YOU SHED FOR THE SINS IN US.

THEN AGAIN THE SUN SETS FAR AWAY IN THE WEST,

AGAIN YOU MUST LEAVE US TO GO HOME TO REST.

THE NIGHT FALLS SO HEAVY, SO FULL OF WOE

TO MAKE US REFLECT ON THE TURMOIL WE CAUSED.

TOMORROW AGAIN THE SUNRISE WILL COME,

YOUR WAY OF SAYING, “HERE’S ANOTHER CHANCE”.

YOU GIVE US ANOTHER CHANCE TO GET CLOSER TO THEE,

ANOTHER DAY DAWINING FILLED WITH YOUR LOVE FOR ME.
