Are you there God? It's me, Caroline. 🙏

"My loneliness is killing me and I must confess I still believe"

 —Britney Spears

God—

          Could you be my friend?

(I'm asking for a friend.)

But of course, you know—

that’s just something we say

when we’re too shy to admit

we’re talking about ourselves.

Truth is,

I could really use a friend right now.

      I have a few, sure.

But what I need

    is a super friend—

The kind only You can be:

supernatural, omnipresent,

patient, and endlessly kind.

     So…

       God—

           Could you be my friend,

               right now?
