i love you god

for you are good,
you are truth,
you are the push we
feel to do better
and work harder
you are the warmth we
feel when we think
we will only ever
know cold from this
day on and you,
you exist in pieces
you are the joy of birth
you are the fear of death
you are the knowledge
that we can go on, that we
WILL go on, that things will
be better & you
are our mothers and our fathers
and you lead us into the world
and remind us what happiness
feels like when we've forgotten

i love you god
for you do not
exist in the sky,
nor in the churches,
or in the bible:

you exist in me because
i choose to let you live here
and i choose to let you be
a reminder that
i will go on
and pain will not last forever

i love you god
for you taught me
why i am here
and why i will die
and i am okay with both

thank you god
hope this does not come off as religious: my meaning is much simpler than i put it in this poetry here.

i do not believe in god as the bible states him. i do not believe there is an almighty being in the sky watching us, that there is a heaven and a hell after our death.

i think of god as a feeling. he is what pushes us to do good. we all need god in our lives, although it may be in different ways. he is the reminder that heaven and hell exist on earth and that we have all experienced both. he is the reminder that we have faced **** and yet we are still here. he is laughter and he is love. he is the good parts of life, he is what too many of us lack.

and so i love him.
