A Meadowlark Sang

I borrowed this from the website for First UMC in Westborough:

The man whispered, "God, speak to me!" and a meadowlark sang.
But the man did not hear.

So the man yelled, "God, speak to me!" and the thunder rolled across the sky.
But the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, "God let me see you," and a star shone brightly.
But the man did not notice.

And the man shouted, "God show me a miracle", and a life was born.
But the man did not know.

So, the man cried out in despair saying, "Touch me, God, and let me know you are here!"
Whereupon God reached down and touched the man.

But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.
