Alone with God

Alone with God

A Poem by Juan Guerrero

are you up there

father

beyond those blue heaven eyes

that sail slowly across

the ceiling of my world.

are you up there

as I tie my shoelaces

and wait for the fruit to grow

or the cows to give milk.

do you think I'm lonely too

are you lonely too.

somewhere sitting on a throne

loved and prayed to

by everyone.

i drink my milk,

eat my toasted cookie,

and I look outside for you

out there, breathing maybe 

exhaling answers, inhaling requests

i am too like you.

one day I'll look at my children

with your eyes and wonder

what went wrong, but smile

because they know where home is.
