Another me said, “You don’t have to leave, so fast?”

I said, “Well, why should I stay here, with nothing to talk about? Is it a prison here?” 

Another me said, “The Lord’s much more patient. He never leaves me. Even though I say nothing in my prayers, He knows all that I want.”

I said, “But the Lord’s told us to tell Him everything in prayers.”

Another me said, “But I don’t really know what to say.”

I said, “Then, I go, bye.”

Another me said, “You go, bye? How does the Lord teach you? He teaches you to your neighbors!”

I said, “I know.”

Another me said, “You know but you go.”

I said, “Hey, you don’t answer and say anything. Then, only the Lord knows what you want. I don’t know. Why don’t I go?”

Another me said, “You go? The Lord’s arranged you to be my neighbor because He wants you to help me.”

I said, “I know. The Lord does ask me to help you, but He never asks me to guess what you want.”

Another me said, “So what do you want now?”

I said, “I want to go. Call me when you’ve got something say.”
