Talking O God

Good morning God
Well
Here I am again
Having this one way conversation
At five in the morning
Wondering if maybe
You might be listening

What’s that you say?
Oh…
Sorry…
I thought you said something
My mistake

Yes…
I know that all I do
Is mostly complain
Or have questions for you
That I know won’t be answered
But still
For some strange reason
I keep talking to you
Every morning
Day in and day out

What’s that you say?
Oh…
Sorry…
I thought you said something
My mistake

Anyway 
I just wanted you to know
That I am still here

You know God
It’s been sixty-five years
Since I was born
And although 
I keep on talking to you
Every day
I keep on hoping
That you might find a way
To answer me

What’s that you say?
Oh…
Sorry…
I thought you said something
My mistake

Life hasn’t been all that great
I’ve done some pretty stupid things
That no matter what I do
I can’t seem to correct
But still
I keep trying

I can still remember God
When I was seventeen
Just like it was yesterday
But this old body of mine
Aches all over
And I can’t begin to tell you
How often I have wished
I had a second chance
… hey God… any chance of that?

What’s that you say?
Oh…
Sorry…
I thought you said something
My mistake

Anyway God
I really miss the old days
I miss my old friends
And here’s something
Strange as it may seem
I really miss being able to run
You know… with the wind type running

What’s that you say?
Oh…
Sorry…
I thought you said something
My mistake

OK God
That’s enough complaining 
For today
I’m going to grab a cup of coffee
And try to shake off
All this nostalgia

But regardless
I hope your day
Is off to a better start
Then mine

Take care of yourself
We’ll speak more tomorrow

Did you say something?
