I have never spoken to You,

But now I want to say,

"How do you do!"

*

You see God,

They told me you did not exist,

And ... like a fool,

I believed all of this.

*

Last night from a shell hole,

I saw your sky.

I figured right then,

They had told me a lie.

*

Had I taken the time

To see the things you made,

I would know they weren't calling

A spade a spade.

*

I wonder, God ...

If You would shake my hand;

Somehow I feel,

That you will understand.

*

Strange, I had to come

To this hellish place,

Before I had time

To see your face.

*

Well, I guess there isn't

Much more to say;

But I am sure glad, God,

I met you today.

I guess the zero hour

Will soon be here,

But I am not afraid

Since I know "You" are near.

*

The signal ... well, God,

I will have to go;

I love you lots,

This I want you to know.

*

Looks like this will be

A horrible fight;

Who knows ... I may come

To your house tonight.

*

Though I wasn't friendly

With you before,

I wonder, God,

If you would wait at the door.

*

Look ... I am crying!

Me ... shedding tears!

I wish I had known you

These many years.

*

Well, I have to go now, God ...

Goodbye.

Strange ... since I have met you,

I am no longer afraid to die.

*
