a page tonight.
And let that page come
out of you —
Then, it will be true.

A LETTER TO GOD.

October 26 2011, by Charles H. Miranda

DEAR GOD: I'M SO SORRY FOR DISAPPOINTING YOU
IN THIS LIFE AND FOR HURTING YOU THIS DAY AND
EVERY DAY;
DEAR GOD I CRY AND I CRY ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT
AND I GOT TEARS IN MY EYES FROM CRYING ALL DAY
AND ALL NIGHT,
AND NOW MY HEART KNOWS DEAR GOD THAT YOU
ONLY WANTED THE VERY BEST WISHES YOU COULD
EVER OFFER TO ME IN LIFE;
DEAR GOD PLEASE DON'T HATE ME OR BE ANGRY WITH
ME PLEASE BE AS MERCIFUL AS YOU CAN BE TO ME
AND LOVE ME AS YOUR LITTLE CHILD ON EARTH,
DEAR GOD I CAN NOT TELL A LIE TO YOU AT ALL AND
YET DEAR GOD I KNOW THAT I'M A SINNER AND I ASK
FOR FORGIVENESS FOR ALL OF MY SINS
FROM SOMEONE WITH A VERY SINCERE HEART;
AND DEAR GOD WON'T YOU PLEASE REPAIR THIS BROKEN
HEART OF MINE AND MEND IT WITH YOUR GENTLE TOUCH
OF YOUR TENDER LOVING FINGERS ONCE AGAIN,
AND DEAR GOD MAY YOUR ANGELS OR YOUR SAINTS
BRING THIS LETTER TO YOU IN HEAVEN;
AND DEAR GOD I THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH
FROM SOMEONE WITH A VERY SINCERE HEART.
