The Acknowledgment

In a time of great trial,
I reached through the air,
'Where are You? I know that
You are everywhere!'

Stillness answered the cry;
Then- Your Presence was heeded!
As You quickened my soul
With the calmness it needed...

Like Your care for the sparrows,
And hairs on a head-
Was the acknowledgment that
You had heard what I said.
