Are You There God- For Contest

Thanks for seeing me, if you please can I now get up off my knees? Where do I start? I've made a list forgive me for the one's I've missed. Can we go back to '77 when you were in your cosy heaven whilst down below I watched my Dad struggle for breath, his lungs gone bad? Ok, my life then I'll admit held little faith for quite a bit I fought daily battles alone relied not on the great unknown. When finally he left us all my heart gave out a silent call that in some bright celestial light he finally was now alright. Is he? Unaided, can he get along clear lungs to breathe, give praise in song? Dull eyes that sometimes shone in mirth as clear as his first hour since birth? Eighteen years fast forward now my link with you rebuilt somehow as by your rules I tried to live the bond between us tentative From ten commandments, maybe six I got to obey- 'pick 'n mix' The good stuff I could not resist was sadly never on your list. Was that why when I called you Lord you never offered a reward? When Mother's health went in decline you punished all those sins of mine? And still that faith, though tattered strands made me kneel down and clasp my hands and thank you for final release and pray that she now rests in peace. Does she? With father's hand does she now go like that old black and white photo, with wedding veil and beaming smile down some cherub-lined wedding aisle? And then my brother, six years on happened so quickly, and was gone we soldier on and do our best while he sleeps in eternal rest. Or does he? Have you for him set by a place where he plays his Fender Jazz Bass? Making up a group of four with Lennon, Hendrix, Gary Moore? Jamming sessions, laying down tracks free from Cancer and heart attacks playing to approving nods from some of music history's Gods. Sorry, Lord, I know there's only you, really. Anyway that's enough from me you've sat and listened quietly not judged me which I did expect and one last thing, Lord- am I next?
