I’m writing to you because
I don’t know what else to do.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a
heart-to-higher power talk.
I know.

I’m actually ashamed I never came to you sooner.
I tried to make the call,
I’ve just been so busy lately.
Well. Maybe the busy part isn’t
All that true.

But I am glad you could make time
For me to explain all of this
It really helps that you can listen
Without judging me the way
The rest of us do.

I just feel so lost in the dark,
All the time, it seems.
I need help and
You’re the only one I can turn to.
I don’t understand any of it.

Will everything go back to normal?
Can I get through with success?
What if I fail?
What if something goes wrong?
What would your Son do?
What should I do?

I know I need to give you
Some time to answer
And it may not even be the one I want.
But I know what’s right.
After all, you do work
In mysterious ways.

Well, before I sign off,
I just wanted to say
Thanks for being there.
Always.
