DEAR LORD

Dear Lord, as you check on each person tonight,
I know things haven't been the best between us two,
So I'd like to get a few things straight with you.
I'm not sure, even though it's been almost a year,
Why you take people away that are dear.
Is it because you love them or need them up there?
Or don't you know how we feel, or care?
It's really hard to believe, for me,
In something I cannot hear or see.
Maybe as time goes on and I mature,
Something will happen, it wiill occur.
That there is a Lord, somewhere up above,
Whom I will grow to really love.
Someone I can trust through good times and bad.
Someone's shoulder to cry on when sad.
But until that day Lord, this will have to do.
A poem, simple, but about you.
Even now as I lay here and write,
I am getting to know you, better, tonight.
