 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

…Dear God…


Dear God…some people say you don't exist,
And some people believe you do!
As for me I have to say right now,
I'm one of the ones who believe in you!
So now I have a question to ask-
Well I guess it's really a request,
Even though I know what happens in life-
Is a sort of form of test!

The thing is this Dear God of mine,
You know you gave me this harsh walk?
Well I just wanted to ask of you,
This question I broached at our last talk!
I'm not afraid of dying, Dear God
But it's a little like this you see;
I don't want to die for a very long time,
Cos I want a life for my Rich, and me!

Now we know my health is really bad,
And I could go at any given time,
But could you please hold it off for me?
And extend this life of mine!
You see my Rich has been so hurt,
And he really needs to have my love;
Because that lad was floundering in sadness,
So I need help from you above!

Can you please make his life better?
Let him bask in the glow of love,
And every night as I chat to you,
Can you send him blessings from above?
You see God; I don't want to leave him!
I want him to feel the love I have to give,
Because love him I do, and I'll be grateful,
If you could, for a long time, let me live.

Because I know that if he lost me,
He would fall apart, as you know he would,
So I guess I'm really praying for him,
Cos I want him to live a happy life as he should.
Now I know I shouldn't really ask,
But I'm not asking for me; cos you see,
I am asking for him; and him alone,
So he can have a happy life with me!

Plus I think you will agree with me,
That I have much to bear in life,
And though I know I can't get well,
I have and always will live with this strife.
But I could bear it all better my God,
If you left me and Rich till we're old,
So we can slide into an elderly life,
Oh Dear God, I know I'm being bold.

But I say if we don't ask we don't get,
So I'm asking as you can see,
I have and will face all you throw my way,
As long as you leave my Rich, with me!
So I guess this is the end of my letter,
Now I will just live in hope and belief-
That you will allow us to be happy,
And not cause my Rich any more grief.

So Dear God I will wait till I hear from you,
As I do; oft in the dark of night,
And send my prayers heavenwards,
Asking you about this plight!
So now I'm signing off again,
I figure you need a little rest from me,
After all my Dear God, as you know,
I have such a belief inside me!

I believe you can work miracles,
And I always have, and always will,
For one miracle you have performed for me,
Is to enable me to climb even the steepest hill!
So now I leave my prayer in your hands,
Just of course, as I always do,
And pray that you will hear my plea,
And make my wish come true.

So thank you for listening once again,
But now I have to tell it true;
I know you can work this miracle;
And I know that I always harass you!
Miracles occur in many ways,
And one of them is to answer a prayer,
So please my God, can you answer mine?
And activate it because I know you care.

And because I would lay down my life for him!

Amen!
