i sometimes think i am alone,
but you are always guiding me by the hand.
i sometimes feel as if i am straying from you,
but you remain by my side.
i sometimes react in anger towards you and even question you,
and you let me,
while never ceasing to love me.

please teach me
patience
and truth,
knowledge
and strength.

in my doubt i still believe
and in my defiance,
i can still see you.

love, in my eyes, is our greatest gift from you.
seemingly evil at times,
but in its pure and truest form
it is a chance to be as close to you
as humanly possible,
while miraculously connecting with another human being
in the way you intended it to be.
