Since I am not heard 

I will not speak. There is no need

to explain to You how

the world should work, after all; nor

any need to explain what I want

or do not want, because 

You, already, know. And will give these things to me

if I sit still, look pretty, keep quiet.

Keep sweet. 

Tithe my daily portion, raise up 

more than my time or my money or my body:

all this and also my Self, I give to You.

For salvation. For penance.

For careful ignorance, for physical safety.

All this and also my Self.

It is not, for You, too much to ask.
