For Vic and Allan

It's no accident that I found you today God has intentions And very mysterious ways We all have different beliefs Parents gods and disapointments Different ways for our anointment But if I were you and you were me What would my anointment be? Yesterday I made peace with God I thought I was dying And this is no fraud Dizzy and confused I convinced myself That I had taken poison And killed myself But today I feel better And soon I'll let my mother know That instead of dying I have further to go But to me I passed that test I called the Name that I knew best He that calls apon the Name of the Lord Shall be saved. (Joel 2:32)

John, not sure what you meant. I am not of your faith. However, I do have a sense of the divine and write about it in some of my poems. eg From Where You Stand". Allan

John, actually we have different religious belief systems but I do understand your angst. We all struggle with unique challenges and every day we are allowed to determine our attitudes. We live with those choices. Allan
