Comforted by Your comfort. <br />And a faith that keeps 'Us' connected. <br />I know my relationship with You is unique. <br />When I speak to You, <br />I demand Your attention. <br />To leave others alone with their beliefs! <br /> <br />Some say they pray for things to get. <br />Like ornaments to bring them happiness. <br />While others are taught to plead to You, <br />On their knees. <br />But Father You know, <br />I don't have to do that with You to please. <br /> <br />And I'm certainly not going to pretend, <br />I do not have a taste to indulge in temptation! <br />I'm curious about all of Your Creation. <br />And those who expose their evilness... <br />Hiding behind pretensions, <br />With claims they know what You want best. <br />Are clearly the ones confused! <br /> <br />If they were as righteous as they profess... <br />Why are so many religiously stressed? <br /> <br />Comforted by Your comfort. <br />And a faith that keeps 'Us' connected. <br />I know my relationship with You is unique. <br />When I speak to You, <br />I demand Your attention. <br />To leave others alone with their beliefs! <br /> <br />Hoping one day... <br />The truth about You, <br />Will open their eyes and amaze! <br />To find that You... <br />Are waiting for them to love You too! <br />Like I do. <br />Demanding Your love in return! <br /> <br />But then again... <br />I am aware of You always there. <br />And I can do that. <br />Knowing Your eyes... <br />Are always on me! <br />Whether or not I am on my knees, <br />To impress in pray. <br />You are with me everywhere!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
