Poem: “Silent God” by Edwina Gateley

This is my prayer –

That, though I may not see,
I be aware
of the Silent God
who stands by me.

That, though I may not feel,
I be aware
of the Mighty Love
Which doggedly follows me.

That, though I may not respond,
I be aware
That God – my Silent, Mighty God,
Waits each day.

Quietly, hopefully, persistently.
Waits each day and through each night
For me.
For me – alone.
