Letter to God (For Non-Religious)

It’ been a while father
I was too proud of myself
I didn’t say any prayer
thought I’ll never need help

I even mocked your name
laughed about your greatness
misinformed my other friends
faith is a bunch of nonsense

Forgive me Father
I have been blinded
please grace upon me

When mortals like me succeed
we tend to forget about You
by conquest we are blinded
claiming we’re above You

But as we fail and fall
upon reaching the bottom
only then that we call
asking why and You’re to blame

Forgive me Father
I have been blinded
please grace upon me

Freewill is our greatest gift
but it is also our downfall
as we use and abuse it
self-righteousness and all

During our darkest moments
that we see the light
as during our torments
that we see the truth

Forgive me Father
I have been blinded
Please grace upon me

  1. Ronald,
    This could apply to so many people I'm sure, who become pre-occupied with the business of living and daily life.
    It is nice to be able to take time to reflect and your words, help to remind us to do just that.

    Best wishes,
    Eileen

  2. Human nature to forget when we're up there, and realization hit us once we reach the rock bottom.

Through poetry we can inspire others, we can make someone smile and words can make others cry be it of joy or sadness.
