The Eternal Question: God, No God, Maybe God

The Eternal Question,
  How can I answer you?
  The Eternal Question
  I could never figure what was true
  Why would God make a child spend her formative years
  With a mother who brought nothing but tears
  If John 4:8 is true,
  “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love,”
  Why did my church going mother get satisfaction from my fear?
  Atheism would fit me like a glove

  With that being said,
  Loving God means I can rest when I’m dead
  I have faith despite what happens
  Regardless of what is said by a false prophet,
  Regardless of all of my bad habits
  “A problem that Jesus dealt that still exists today:
  Some claim to follow him but continually fall astray”
  I can have this belief
  Yet I still rebuke the church
  An entity that claims to be godly but only causes war and hurt

  The eternal question, is He real?
  I believe so, yes, because what else would there be?
  There has to be somebody who loves me for me
  That doesn’t mean that there aren’t earthly beings who do
  My sister, my father, my friends
  Theirs is all true
  But all of them have an inevitable end
  The love in their hearts is everlasting,
  It is God
  And so it is good
