Dear God, Hi I know I promised to talk to you more but I can't seem to find the words Please take care of everyone that I couldn't Please take care of everyone up there and everyone down here that I can't protect I thought I would have already seen you I thought I would have already seen your golden gates But I haven't always kept my promises I used to see you everywhere and now I only seem to see you when I need something Please don't take it personally I just don't know how to rely on myself yet Please don't give up on me I have so much to learn My head is empty and willing to absorb everything you have to teach me Dear God, I'm mad at you Why didn't you answer my prayers? Why didn't you answer when I called out to you? I know you heard me I know you knew I wanted to die I know you have seen my scars And yet you never answered But I'm here right? So if this is you working in mysterious ways We both know I won't figure it out Please just show yourself Dear God, Thank you For bringing me Katy, Ashlie, and Desiree I know there are many more to name but these three are your greatest work They wouldn't let me see you right away Watch over them always And when I'm gone be their best friend Without you I would not know them so I am eternally grateful Miracles happen each day and they are living proof So thank you Dear God, I love you
