By Odimegwu Onwumere
My forefathers believed in You
and revered You in no little ways
though not through the Son-of-Man.
My parents know You
through the Son-of-Man
and from them I came to know You.
I was told that if I knock –
the door shall be open;
if I ask – I shall receive
and no one that trusted in You,
You have bereft of his needs.
I wouldn’t know!
Remember me now, God!
Now that I need you most
because the world is the obverse
of what I had thought.
I have knocked, asked and trusted
but the journey seems very far.
God, I remind You of this promise
that those who trust in You
shall never be put to shame.
Am I a different?
