I Haven't Got A Pen, Dear God!

Dear God I wanted to write to you, to ask you who I am,
But I haven't got a pen.
I haven't got any ink
I wasn't given paper
I don't posses intelligence,
I haven't any words.
Dear God, how can I write to you when I don't know who I am?

I have orange scales that shine like burnished gold in the sun.
I have gills to breathe. I love the feel of cool, shallow water.
I have a scalloped tail that propels and balances me.
I know I can swim.
But, Dear God. I so wanted to write a letter to find out who I am.
