Lord Please

One day I was at work thinking about that special someone. I wanted to write another love poem, just to make sure the first one was a mistake. This one I decided to make more personal than anything. I wanted it to be a poem where I was talking and telling someone what I felt. I wanted it to be a love poem from me to the one that I loved. And so I wrote...

Lord Please

When I was five,

  I asked God for a friend.

Instead, he sent me an enemy

  and said he'd be the best friend to me.

When I was nine,

  I prayed for a video game.

He sent me a book,

  and said it'd be worth a second look.

When I was twelve,

  I wished I could have a super power.

God gave me knowledge

  and said, "You'll find your power in college."

When I was seventeen,

  I pleaded for my mother's life.

But he took her away from me,

  and said, "Her suffering for your happiness is how it must be."

When I was twenty-one,

  faith dwindling, I prayed for an angel.

I told him anything would do,

  but instead of an angel he sent me you.
