A Birthday Letter to G-d

Dear G-d,

Today's the day you said

the world can't be without me.

And so, I entered this world

with an innocence just in a baby.

-

But years later, here I am

scarred, broken and muddy-wet.

I've made far too many mistakes

said too much I regret.

-

I've had so many goals,

so many dreams to connect with You.

So many things I've wanted done

but still have not the courage to do.

-

You've been there by my side,

but I've strayed so far away.

I've forgotten what I owe you,

The life you grant me every day!

-

I beg You, G-d, with sincere desire

put truth in my dirty words.

And let my eyes see only good.

And let my arms be wings as birds.

-

Let my darkness beat me to death

so I can start all over again.

Push my heart forward

away from pain of the then.

-

Wipe my tears in the coming years.

Lift me so I can rise.

Help me search for my inner soul

and uncover where it lies.

-

Put music in my ears.

And mountains before my eyes.

But only flat surface beneath my feet

and success for all my tries.

-

And please, G-d, reveal Yourself,

And let me bask in Your light.

Rest with me and hold my hand;

G-d, fight me through this fight!
