Why God? I asked
Feeling desperate one day

Why do you
Love me
Why do you
Care
Why do you
Call me
Though I pretend not to hear

"Because" was his swift response
Whispered in my heart

But why
Do you choose to love me?
I just don't understand.
Why
When I turn away
Do you reach out
To take me firmly by the hand?

"Oh my precious little one,"
I heard him say again.
"I love you because I created you,
Because I know your heart,
Because my child I chose you.
I have set you apart."
