Letter to God

Dear God
How are you doing, am pretty sure you are quite superb since you are God anyway. About me, well, if you were someone else I guess I would have told you that am quite fine, but since you can see right to the deep recesses of my soul, I guess you can tell that things are not very normal there.
I have decided to write to you because in the recent past ive been unable to talk to you, why, coz every time I talk to you I get this feeling that ive been put on voicemail, which I don’t mind since I know you are quite a busy guy and I wouldn’t want to be selfish, but the problem is, when are you ever gonna check your voice messages? My guess is, its either you’ve lost your phone, like I have, you’ve put it of, or you just don’t want to talk to me. So I write for a change, that way ill be sure you’ve gotten it, the rest is up to you.
You see God, you n I come along way and if there is anyone that knows me better that anybody else, it’s probably you. You know what I love n hate most in life, you know my weak and strong points……..

I came across this piece while cleaning my closet, written probably in 2003. I have no idea what I wanted to talk to God about since the letter is clearly incomplete. I just wonder what it was, I wonder why I didn’t finish it. did things suddenly change? did I give up, did I despair? I guess we will never really know.
Sometimes in life we lose faith in everything, everyone, even God. What do we do then? - the warrior of light, Coulo says, always experiences such moments, but unlike everyone else, he takes it as a moment of growth, and he still believes in God, and still abides, if only as of routine, for he knows that the day will surely come, when he will find reason, once again, to believe, and so he must stay on track, he must believe, he must have faith. Have you ever written a letter to God?

Another life

On this day I make a resolve
To reach out for my dreams
To explore my every potential
To take advantage of every opportunity
For tomorrow may never come

On this day I make a resolve
To love n honor family n friends
To be kind n caring to all n sundry
Let the ones I love know I do
For today is all we may have

On this day I make a resolve
To mend my relations with my God
To submit myself to thy will
To live a life worthy of Him
And thank Him for another life

Like a candle in the wind, like a silhouette in darkness, like a mirage at day, so are days of our lives
