Dear God

Thank you for the blessings You have bestowed upon my loves ones and me We have health, love for each other And jobs that pay enough for the rent And basic necessities Forgive me for the times I’ve cursed you In the midst of certain lessons I was ignorant – not contemplating The greater good, Then you granted me the gifts of Knowledge and understanding and Made me grateful for nearly all the outcomes “Life is the school” and “Love is the lesson,” But what is the purpose of our incarnation? Is it enjoying the simple pleasures, Growing spiritually to know you better, And striving to do the right things That make up the purpose potion? These are things that aid us in loving Ourselves enough to adequately love you, Jesus and our fellow spiritual beings Who are sharing the earthly experience, But is that all there is? Beyond Love, you may not divulge Any other reasons for existence, as All things ultimately fall under Love’s umbrella Besides, when working in harmony, The Bible, our intellect and intuition allow us higher Truths and Revelations That I contend come from You and angels But, is that all of what we are given? Shall I simply be content in praying That you continue to enlighten my inquisitive soul By feeding me information On a need to know basis using the tools you have provided as I enjoy the simple pleasures, continue my spiritual growth and strive for morality over blasphemy? Do I trust that Life’s Purpose Is as simple and as complex as Live, Love, Die and Reincarnate? Love is the Key. The rest, only You know the Truth. If you could talk to God.... Free Verse Contest
