Faith and Devotion

When I call out God,

do you listen?

Do you recognise

me by the name

I was christened?

How do you have

the time to answer

everyone’s prayers?

There must be

a long queue

on the steps of

heavens stairs.

How do you choose

who you will save

when we all end up

buried in our grave.

Is there a hierarchy

that has your ear

while the rest of us

spend our days in fear.

Is it all down to

faith and devotion

whether or not

we get that promotion

to take our place near

the front of the line

and wait to be called

to a life divine.
