We as children, based upon your household were told, that the man upstairs is always watching.
You’re every move, so smooth and so cunning it’s stunning to think that there is someone out there in the sky, watching down judging your actions that you do. The sins that you commit, wishing you can omit and repent for you never know when your last day is to appear. You swear you’ll do better, next time I promise my dear. My dear lord, the one all mighty, the one that gives me strength and keeps me tidy. Please bless me, with the ability to succeed and achieve any obstacle you put in front of me.
For I am only human

Now that we grow up, you judge who’s to show up to in your time of need.  Sometimes we lose faith; we get discouraged for who knows the last time you prayed. Yet, there’s always that little voice in your head giving you judgment on what’s right and what’s wrong. So when feeling lonely, think back when you were a child, and you hear those songs, those remedies for you remember how good it felt to be a child of God.  Always have the belief; always have the faith that the Lord will always have that place in your heart.

See I am not perfect, sometimes I feel as if I’m not worth it to be given this life for I did so much wrong in the past.

My mother once told me to never look back to your past and be sad for what happened. Better yet, to be happy it happened and you are a stronger man. It was God’s plan put you through obstacles, you mastered them and now anything is possible. “Just keep having faith”

The man upstairs: The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit may you be with us in our time of need. So we may succeed and make you proud of us, for we are rooted from Adam and Eve. Picking fruit from the forbidden tree. Because of that were not perfect, but were worth it to be loved and cared. For you are the oh so merciful, The Man Upstairs.
