I sat at home and wondered
about all the troubles I have met.
God gave me a book of instructions,
(I just haven’t read it yet.)

I say my prayers all the time.
(Each time a bill comes in.)
I am the perfect Christian.
(Except for when I sin.)

I sit in church on Sunday.
(At least three times a year.)
I spread his words "God Bless You"
(For every sneeze I hear.)

I’m having such a hard time.
I wonder where God’s been?
Maybe he’s been waiting
for me to come to him.

Beautiful job, and true for a lot of people, myself included I'm sad to say. Thanks for sharing it with us all

Ah, Lucie,
It's amazing what we go through sometimes just to come to this realization. Very good.

Lucie, liked your poem.

When your spirit is weak,
ask someone else to speak
in sponsorship of you,
and He'll send angels too.

Lucie: Echos of all the above... good job. Speaks loads about a good portion of our society and it's willingness to take, but hardly ever give... to have it handed over rather than to work for it. Just my take... hope you're doing well.

hehe Dear sweet Lucie...this made me laugh - but at least you're honest!! LOL I know, it's not funny, but it's comical through your eyes, cause I know you're a great clown. Sometimes, the best way to get through the hard times is to try and laugh your way through 'em! Remember that poem of mine titled, "Toilet Bowl of Lies"...my soul was tearing inside when I wrote that, but after doing so, and laughing at what I'd written, it seemed to keep me sane, and I didn't "hurt" anybody! LOL Keep your chin up girl, you're almost there!!!!
