Dear God

Dear God, I wish to complain, for the pain I have had in your name, as the Master of all it is really your call to ensure that our life’s not in vain. We believe you say “don’t live in sin” but your actions leave you on a limb, as example to all all the things I recall that you did made pure evil slip in. Tell why you let my daughter die tell why you removed my right eye and to add further pain just what was your game when a cataract you then did try. Oh I nearly forgot you decreed and with cancer you planted the seed. Did the piece of my arm they removed to save harm give Celestial pleasure indeed. Thank heaven(?) for my fellow man who has helped to preserve what I am. For your every sick deed to make my pain your creed. was defeated in no way ‘you’ can. So really as ‘Master of All’, I’m complaining that you make the call to treat all Mankind in a way that’s not kind with the things that on us you befall. I would ask that you soon mend your ways and listen as everyone prays for a chance in this life to be free of strife and let all of us all see better days. Dear God, I worship your name for helping me bear all the pain. As the Master of all it is on you that I call when I feel that my life is in vain. Although sometimes, I fall into sin, it is you who then guides me within and helps me recall that there’s goodness in all if you don’t let the evil slip in. As my child’s loss made me want to cry, in the pain as I lost my right eye, when cancer found me as they cut it free it was your love that helped me get by. And then when I near lost my sight as a cataract gave cause for fright with you ever near I faced all my fear as you helped the doctor put it right. Thank Heaven for all of your care that has helped me, my life to repair. For whenever I’m sick or I’m beat with a stick it is then that I find you are there. I worship you, Master of All and will follow wherever you call as you guide Mankind from the evil we find and on us all your blessing befall. I know I should follow your way and ask for the strength when I pray to live good and true and be more like you from your pathway I never must stray. Ivor G Davies
