Phone calls to Heaven - poem

My prayers are more like conversations,

over the telephone,

with really bad service,

and one person on the line,

talking WAY too much...

I think sometimes he hears me,

but I pray for so much I know the phone is sitting off the hook.

I pray for happy things,

for good things,

for best the things.

I thank God for the days I get,

then pray that the tomorrows are better,

and beg him to forgive me for my sins.

I pray for people,

for irrelevance,

then if I remember,

I'll pray for myself.

I repeat prayers just in case the call failed,

I repeat myself if I get side tracked,

or if there was just a bad connection.

I start over in case he wasn't there.

or sometimes I yell just incase he didn't hear me the first time,

then I apologize for being too loud.

I pray for being such a sorry person.

I pray to have a good nights rest.

Or I'll pray that I don't wake up.

Then I pray that the Lord doesn't hang up on me and that my phone calls are enough.
