And To the God of My Mother

I remember when I was a child I prayed to my god to make teacher sick he replied and made teacher an doctor To cure my stupidity with knowledge and stick Since my God didn’t understand me I pray to the God of my mother To open my mind To knowledge and wisdom So that from me they too can learn I remember when I was a teen I prayed to my god to make her blind in love he replied he made her transparent To make sure I saw beyond her pretty Since my god doesn’t understand me I pray to the God of my mother To open my eyes To see the beauty in everyone So I too can love I will remember yesterday for now I am here I am lost ,the fog blinding, the earth burying I would pray to my god to lift my burden But since my god may not understand me I pray to the God of my mother To give me a strong heart To be able to lift the weight of the world So I can again live YouTube. url copy and paste for vid: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EJzNsMedwTI

Yes, Moses, our prayers get answered, but not necessarily in the way that we'd like. A very clever, thoughtful write. Well done. Regards, Viv
