Seeking Eternity Hello, is anyone there . . . anyone at all? I've said all the things they say should be said, closed my eyes, scratched my knees from all the places I've knelt . . . but, hello, is anyone there . . . can anyone at all hear my prayer, my shouts, my cries, moans, silent plea's . . . Hello, God . . . ? I think maybe you've died, gone on a trip, got your head somewhere else, or never were . . . anyway, because you sure as heck don't hear me, have chosen not to hear me, or just don't care like they say you do. Tomorrow though, I think, you're gonna know me, see me, hear me . . . because I'll be standing before you yelling as loud as I can, asking why the heck am I there . . . when you could have stopped me, just by saying . . . 'hello' . . . Hello, is anyone there . . . anyone at all, anyone . . . at all. © wesley james beard, jr. 1976 (not about me) |

I wonder how many people have thought these thoughts but were afraid to voice them. Ida |

This is a very thought provoking piece. I too wonder how many people out there think like this. I truly enjoyed the read!  When the family is together, the soul is at peace - Russian Proverb |

Uh, j. you have to realize that God is a crock. Wish He wasn't, but he is a crock. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Over the years I have encountered so many as this depicts. Some realize they needn't be so lonely, others just don't get it at all. You have done a great job at bringing this subject to a real-life-example. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

I think we all have cried out like this at times. My father used to say God was a crock too - until he was dying. Seems he wanted to hedge his bets then. Like Jimmy says - everyone is entitled, but I think everyone has asked this question and thought these thoughts at some point in their lives. You wrote it well, Jimmy. A |
