Tiny Tom’s Confession

I’m going to become     a Christian!
Without a friend like Jesus
I’ll never be allowed my tiny space.

I hear voices that pretend
to be people
who care.

The voices aren’t real!
Jesus is real.

ATHEIST ” the voices aren’t real
but neither is Jesus”

Confessor “But I don’t need these wicked voices.
What I need is Jesus!”
