Prayer to Our Holy Father

This is a poem about God, thanking him for life, living, nature, food, friends, health, and seeing us through to our death.

Dear God,
"Thank you for our daily bread,
to which we look forward to be fed,
making our lives a place easier to be
when we earn our shares upon our feet".

Dear Lord,
"Thank you for doom of intriguing pain,
I feel it clear with all my shame,
you send us through the darkness and rain
only to show us the light again".

Dear Father,
"Thank you for the four seasons,
all of which have different reasons,
brightness, blackness, coldness of Winter,
thank you for our daily weather
even though you I cannot see".

Dear Lord,
"Thank you for our daily friends
and to you our hearts we gratefully send,
no pain, no tears, no-overlapping fate
shall keep us from honoring your welcoming gates";
"Thank you for our loving friends
even though their souls are dense,
thank you God for being our end".

Dear Savior,
"Forgive us for the sins we've done
and for ones we are about to commit,
forgive us for our brainless graves,
not learning from past existence".
"Forgive us for our thought and images
which render us cold of mind,
revulsion and murder in our eyes,
please stand by us and keep us sane,
well away from a killer insane".

Dearest One,
"Forgive us for our heart and souls,
we do not wish for the Devil's role,
Insane jealousy, a sin all alone,
let me stay strong to crush it's bones".

Dear Savior,
"Save us from any harmful illusion,
don't let us select our harmful intrusions;
save us from needy thoughts of others,
kill us now and suspect our mothers;
Save us from the blackness of vain,
save us from our own restraints;
Turn to them, spread Hell upon them,
turn to us, kill ourselves we shall must;
God save us from murder and suicide trees,
I still thank you for the life of me".
