You may think I am peculiar…you may think me a little odd when I still say I am not religious but I do believe in God. So let me share with you for a moment…a few qualities I’ve compiled Of my god…the one I’ve been praying to…since I was but a child. My God is not prejudiced…not bigoted…my God does not discriminate My God is a God of Love and sharing…my God will never not hate. My God sees the differences in all of us…and these difference my God lauds My God even gets along…with all the other Gods. My God is a God of hope and faith…not a God of doom My God instills that hope in every seedling…and has faith that every flower will bloom. My God believes in charity, he knows the key for people to live Is not in how much they take in life...but how much they give. My God believes in love…knowing love shall light the way My God cares not if I am straight, or Bi, or lesbian or gay. My God knows no war is holy and like me prays for them to cease My God believes in kindness…my God believes in peace. My God has given me the ability to decide what is right and what is wrong My God knows I’ll make mistakes for he knows my journey’s long. My God only asks that I show kindness and treat everyone the same so when I die people will smile at the mere mention of my name. For nothing in this world would bring a broader smile to my God’s face than knowing everyone my God created would leave this world a better place. As you may surmise from this list of qualities I’ve compiled The God whom I still pray to…is the God I prayed to as a child. If you think that makes me peculiar If you think that makes me odd know I am oddly, peculiarly happy In the comfort of my God.
