Known or Not

each day but

not at the same time,

I pray to

something or

someone

I do not know,

in the hopes that

my prayers

will be answered

as if

we had been friends

all of my life;

and this is done,

they say,

because it needs

to be done

because

we believe in all

we do not know,

in the hopes that it

will be one day;

and,

that leaves me

wanting more of

whatever it is that I

do not know about

simply because

we believe

it should be done

exactly this way.
