A Prayer of Praise

If I curled up,
Just went to sleep for a hundred days,
Never calling on you,
Never whispering your name
Would you miss me?

If I hid,
Just kept to the shadows,
Never signaling I was there,
Never giving you a sign,
Would you notice?

If I was silent,
Just ignoring all your calls,
Never answering your questions,
Never answering your cries,
Would you keep trying?

I tried curling up.
I tried hiding.
I tried to be silent.

You never stopped missing me,
Never stopped calling on me,
Never stopped looking for me.

Lord God, You never stopped loving me.
And You never will.
