Page God for me - once let His sparrows fall unheeded,
Once unattended go, their crushed and dust-grey wings;
Page Him, down the corridors of misery - He is needed
To answer here for urgent and more human things.
Then here, accuse Him of faulty manufacturing. This heart
He guaranteed to last for life - kept sixteen years; today
Used for the first time, and sparingly, it fell apart!
Page God to wipe a daughter's first real tears away.
