Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

How Are You

How are you today God,
The thought entered my mind
To ask? I mean, with all the whining
One would think your only task
To answer prayers, humanity’s
Loyalty predicated on how completely
And dutifully fast.  So, just
Want to say, take a day off...on
One of your tropical beaches perhaps sun
And rest – while I may not always behave
My best – I have come to realize, none-the-less
Throughout my life I have already been 
Dearly loved regardless
And abundantly blessed.

DiMino March 16, 2026 at 9:38 AM Not to mislead that I have had a charmed life...many years of a living hell I will not go into -- if not for the grace of God, it could have been lots worse. He brings no evil, and only intercedes to help us. Love Him unconditionally.

Heidi Sands March 13, 2026 at 7:08 AM A very nice grateful poem Joe. The whining part made me think of a sign at a vehicle repair shop yesterday. It said , 5 cents for whining lol :) Joseph P. DiMino March 14, 2026 at 6:00 AM I guess, we all do it a little. I am conscious of it, and try to keep it to a minimum. Auto Repair shops is a test of will power for anyone. And check out lines at the supermarket with all the scanners and coupons that require apps. Don't get me started. Blessings my friend.

Valsa George March 13, 2026 at 6:47 AM If you feel you are abundantly blessed and if all the others also feel so, God will have rest. Enjoyed your proposition to God. Joseph P. DiMino March 14, 2026 at 6:01 AM Of course...wisely said. One really can't separate God from his creation. We are all God substance. Blessings my friend.
