My Greatest Work

He is my greatest work like Christ who said I come like a beggar. He came to me like a child wrapped in newspapers on my front door step. I took him into my home and my life. In the beginning everything was new and fun we played together like he was a puppy dog big beautiful brown eyes and he would get into trouble but only minor ones. As he grew his troubles grew along with him. Costing me more money and time and loss of friends and family who asked “why do you waste our time with him” sleepless nights and heart pain and more pain and more pain. Doubts that I made a big mistakes why do I think that I am god and can save him or make myself the latest 911 hero. For more than 16 years with him. But one night I had a dream a pale angel told me that she needed me. I was confused and shocked. Why I am needed I am only human. She said that she can not live without me that she needed someone to believe in her and have faith in her for her to do her work Then I thought about him my life's works has not been in vain because like the angel and Christ he needs someone to believe in him until he can believe in himself and know that he is also God.
