Dear G-d

As I pen these things

It might literally be all I have

Ink on paper

Does any of this matter?

Then I’m reminded of what I’ve seen

The places I love and the people I’ve been

Only love could have brought me to this place

Holding in me a joyful heart while spit covers my face

I’ve come to forgive those who’ve wronged me

Knowing that they’ve helped make me into exactly who you intended me to be

I’m trying my best to be a better man

Despite all my fears, I really am

I write these things to remind myself

That amidst this darkness, there still remains

Light, hope, and a perfect plan

For the first time in my life

I am writing for the sake of writing

Living for the sake of living

Loving for the sake of loving

And I’ll live

So you can call this sort of life a hopeless endeavor

That this tiny vessel could ever endure such violent weather

Call it pointless

I’ll continue to carry out grace none the less

I will scream it till my face is blue

There is a point to all of this and its always been you
