Dear God

Thank you. 

Thank you for the loneliness,

The forced celibacy. 

Thank you for the cockiness,

and the hypocrisy. 

Thank you for the missed calls,

The long nights,

And the cold walls. 

Dear God, 

You are the best mentor.

I get the meaning of devotion now.

I mean how could I commit,

If I didn’t know how. 

Motivation is like our need for a bath,

Must be done daily to soothe our inner wrath.

Perhaps I should speak for myself,

My anger has kept me from being my best self. 

I even get angry with God. 

Now tell me, isn’t that kinda Sad, Bad.

Who am I to accost The Man?

I’m callous,

Pugnacious.

Immediate emotional reactions,

Personifying a kook. 

Encumbered past yes

Per contra, Faith was fortitudinous.  

Philosophizing Biblical anecdotes,

I epitomized David and defied many Goliaths.

I bore the brunt like Joseph,

For covetousness had no regard for beneficence. 

Akin to Daniel, and the three Hebrew boys I predicated and continue to asservate for God,

Why, he affirms me.

Daily. 

Laconically, 

Je t’aime Dieu.
