Yes, we are all different
but still so much the same
There is so much more to God and Love
than taught in religions name

There are many denominations
the doctrines at times confuse
Most of us are taught in youth
that we definitely have to choose

This I know for certain
with no doubt in my mind
There is a divine being
who wants us to each be kind

The person whom I refer to
not only lives in skies above
He also lives in hearts of mankind
to teach us of His great Love

His Love is most important
of all else I have learned in life
Religion is not what He wants of us
But Love, Hope, Peace, Unity without strife

God sees into our hearts
He knows what dwells within
Regardless of what I have been taught
anything can be made sin

I finally have realized
after all these many years
I don't have to wear a religious uniform
or have so many fears

Fears that I won't look just so
by cutting my long hair
Or that I won't be living right
if a pair of jeans I wear

For you see, these man-made laws
for many years I was told
If I did not abide by them
I would be thrown out in the cold

So many in our world today
claim their religion is the one that's true
If someone listened to each of them
they would never quite know what to do

We were each given a conscience
when into this world we came
Sometimes it speaks in a soft, quiet voice
but always there just the same

This is Gods Spirit speaking to us
teaching how we need to live
To always be kind, loving, gentle
and respect to all others give

I thank Him for the Love
He has put into my heart
Giving to me compassion and caring
from my heart I hope never to part
~~~~~

Thank you Kacy/Midnitesun......."I Am Not A Christian...."

Ethel, Great write I can relate to this
and your poem is so right

Real friends celebrate in who we are and have faith in all that we can become
Lots of Love

Like always, friend, right from the heart and right on the mark.  Well done!!  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Well, you just made my day!
I just got home from horseback riding and have to run out the door in 15 minutes to go to work. Pips-aholic that I am, that meant a minute or two on the board.
THANK YOU for this beautifully spiritual piece, Ethel, and for reading and understanding my poem.
Peace and hugs to you!
