My letter to God


First of all I would like to say
thank you God for this beautiful day
and for all the gifts you gave to me
so I could shine for the world to see.
Dear God my father my shining light
who sleeps me safe in bed each night
this life of mine though true and strong
repeats mistakes however wrong
and no matter how hard I try to be
the one in the mirror…it's just not me.
Then the faith I feel retreats and hides
as sadness fills my heart and life
and it's then I wonder if you can really see
how very sad life becomes for me?
But then the sunshine breaks the sky
while fluffy white clouds pass on by
and the tree tops high are filled with song
over rich green fields and golden corn
then my eyes are opened and my heart can see
exactly what... life means for me
and I thank you God for each long day
even though… I might never pray!

Inspired by AnnaGallys and James
