My Poems

My Letter To God

The meaning of life I'm sure I don't know,
There are so many things that are hard to let go.
The feel of a newborn that was sent down to me,
So perfect and innocent, how could this be?

I cannot be left with this life in my care,
I will only survive if I know that you're there.
You sent me these sons saying "give it your best",
I told you "ok, I'm up to this test".

At first it was easy; I can do this I thought,
But your plans were different; I'll teach her alot.
Just when I thought I was on the right path'
you'd throw me a curve and sit back and laugh.

And now that I'm older' I can't thank you enough,
I had to go through it, or I wouldn't be tough.
I still need your help, even after this long,
If I do it myself, I know I'll go wrong.

I thought at first I was up to this test,
But now all I know is, I just need some rest.
