DEAR GOD

Dear God,
When times are rough and I can’t be tough
Remind me that I am enough
…faults and all

II
Dear God,
When times I need are times unright
Remind me that You fitted times to be right
…even when I dread a fall

III
Dear God,
When I feel pressure before a treasure
Remind me that all great things are yours to measure
… and You always make the perfect call

IV
Dear God,
Even when I stand like a disappointment in your teaching appointment
Remind me of the jewelry burned to beauty’s contentment
…before getting a place at the exhibition hall

V
Dear God,
Like a tired sword, blood blinded in horror’s accord
I tend to shift from You my Lord
…help in those times so I don’t stall

VI.
For I am a vessel in self hassle
Wanting You in a daily nestle
I am a cord and also like a serving board
Needing your ink and your thinking link
For You’re the Perfect Shrink who helps me to always think
So dear God,
In my lowest forms, like an unshakable oak tree, help me to stand

Stand tall even after a fall
