Dear God
I’d just like to ask you-
If it were possible,
That I be around for a little longer.
I know you haven’t told me that you are taking me away.
But, I thought I’d let you know that I’m not taking all this for granted anymore.
Thank you for the simplicity.
Like laughter. Dreams. And Love.
Y’know, the big things
Like night time, cotton bed sheets, feather pillows.
Thanks for making Florida pink when the sun rises, the oceans mystical, and the stars far away enough to adorn our skies.
Oh and that moment between sleep and the real world…
Wondering what the day is going to bring,
Or how my life has yet to unfold,
Thanks for that moment of fresh, unadulterated Hope.
I know sometimes I don’t listen very well.
But thank you for sending me all the signs.
And the angels who have guided me.
I think you put me here for a reason,
And I hope I don’t let you down by ignoring you.
I pray for happiness, for everyone whom I have ever met.
I pray that we all grow old beautiful and content.
I pray when we’re all 74 and geriatrics,
We’ll still be laughing the same way we do today.
I know my life here is transitory,
But while I am here for this short moment,
I’d like to take the grand tour of your world,
And hopefully when I check out,
I’d have contributed more than I would have taken.
Yours Truly.

How simply put. Our world would be a little darker and a star would stop glowing if you were not around.

God bless you. You have touched my heart and I am a better person for having read your prayer. It is so real. The emotions contained in your writing, and the gratitude for life, bring me back to the realization of why we’re here, and even more, why I am here. Thank you for your love.
