Excellent

This was a ver nice 5 5 5 poem. Seems people
Understand that He always hears, but we don't always like the answer.

I guess sometimes getting no answer is His answer. Anyways, I'm still waiting for that Porsche. Ha!

Nice work.

Yes, indeed, God hears our prayers, especially when we kneel and bow our heads. But we soon learn that he hears them from wherever we are, as long as our hearts are asking. Beautiful poem.

You are right, Santha. God appreciates a thank you now and then.

Exceptional

Succinctly laid out as a short expression of the poet's feeling, the poem exudes a tangible power and positivity. It assures the reader that God listens and hears us. I noted the beautiful rhyme also.
Very well written.
