I begged for a sign, saw no evidence-

Trial after trial, my life a long penance,

Grateful was I to have somehow been spared,

 Hasty sign of a cross when well I fared,

 Humbled how you forgive my irreverence.

.

Name in vain, unfazed at my decadence,

Helicopter rose, closed eyes my defense.

Do scattered thoughts count as prayers when I’m scared?

I begged for a sign.

.

Flew blue skies, flocked pelicans for guidance,

Soaring, surrounding Divine Ordinance.

Three claimed the lead; we followed them there,

Plane landed-- Trinity hovered in air.

That moment defined my faith’s nascence.

I begged for a sign; found my evidence.
