DEAR GOD

Dear God,

It’s Billy, have you got a minute…I apologize for bothering you
with the entire universe to look after…
I imagine you have a lot to do

But have you checked in on the Earth lately…
perhaps from way up there it’s hard to tell
but I think if you look hard enough
you’ll see we’re not doing very well.

I know you must be happy with all the love down here
and that is a reason to celebrate…
but as happy as you are with all the love
you’ve got to be saddened by all the hate.

Which is why after church this morning 
I’m sending this prayer to you…
you see I’m afraid and confused and I’m worried
and I don’t know what else to do.

So God if you happen to have the time…
I wonder…could you to re-create….
a world that keeps the love that’s already here
but gets rid of all the hate?

I hope this isn’t too much to ask…
and I’m not even sure what kind of power you’ve got…
but if you could make this one prayer come true
it sure would mean a lot.

And if you make this dream come true…
in church will I never miss another Amen…
and I’ll make you this promise:
I’ll never bother you again!

Well I have to go now…
My mom says there are a lot of things I have to do…
And if you’re going to get rid of everyone’s hate
I imagine so do you.

Your friend,
Billy
