Dear God,
Upon awakening your beauty cross my eyes
I imagine you as very wise
I am no longer a child
My vision of you was kind of wild,
yet really too mild
I am now grown
With still so much unknown
You were my Maker
You were my shaker
I viewed you as stern
Later I would learn
I shared with you all my wrongs
As well as my memorized preschool songs
You were present all along
Why did I feel I did not belong?
Why not eagerly share all my greatness
Instead of only my weakness?
I have many traits
Lots of love, & a bit of hates
I have gotten older
And my questions for you, bolder
Years have disappeared
You have always reared
Young, I envisioned YOU majestic
And myself too frantic
I was too small
I imagined you available to all
Yet I was too weak, too meek
At times I did take a peek
I dared to seek
You were nowhere to be
As I could not see
Not knowing who or what to look for
I opened each, & every wrong door
So it seemed
As Today… YOU beam!
With you I have a relation
There was never a wrong destination
It was only I who found myself too odd
I was not looking for perfection in you, God
I was looking for perfection in ME
So that I’d be presentable to see
Now, I am grateful to simply be
As you have created ME
I continue on with my day
To you I simply pray
I Thank you
For YOU
ME
