Dear Jesus, would you mind, I asked,
Could we create a worthier past?
Irrational solution; fun ahead,
Diversion, revolution, rub out the things I dread,
If I can hope,
If you can cope,
This viral doubt won't spread…
Dear Lord I know I’m needy,
I’m vain and daft and greedy,
I can be nice, if you can cure,
Is that God's plan? Not sure,
Transaction futility,
Life viability,
I should have arranged this before...
Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
I do good works now for the most
Part, jollying the days of others,
The sick, their families and mothers,
Amateur charity,
Justify saving me,
Sometimes my energy smothers....
I have always been a Christian and it helped me a lot when I was ill. I have to confess to bargaining with God on many occasions and to wishing I had been a better, more deserving, person -but then, the good are the ones who die young! I feel a big need to payback and that can make me a bit painful to be around -never give me a tambourine!
