In the Name Fool's Garden

She's a good girl
Daddy loves her
She's obeying
Pretty soon
Daddy told her
Wondrous stories
Very softly
Salty moon

Is anybody out there?
Can anybody hear her cry?
Any saviour?
Does anybody know just why
God has left her
On this long, long way?
She's afraid to hear him say:
COME

She's a good ball
Daddy's playing
Very charily
With her hands
Many pictures
In the diary
Of a small girl
And a man
