Is Anyone Listening? by Rich Clingman

Hey!

I'm not stupid just because I can't ride a bike.
And I'm not a "retard" when I stumble and fall.
I can still be your friend even when I can't walk anymore.
And I could really use another friend right now.

Hey,

I watched Touched By An Angel last night.
It'd be kinda neat to have an angel around.
I sure wish Monica, Andrew or Tess would stop by
And explain why all this is.

I guess they'd tell me God loves me and has a plan for me.
I'd say I'm not so sure sometimes.
But they're not even real.
Is God?

Hey . . .

I've already been touched by an angel!
And she touches my life every day.
Sometimes I get mad.
Sometimes I make her cry.

But I think I've even seen her glow just like Tess.
And I'm sure glad she's here instead of Andrew.
Like Monica, she has more questions than answers.
But if God could love me even half as much as her . . .

Hey, God?

I guess if this is how it has to be,
I'm sure glad you gave me Mom.
