LIfe is better with you in it
Dear God
Here I am
At the end of my rope
standing at the cliff's edge
looking down at the jagged bottom
wondering if the jump is worth it
Please God
answer me, are you listening?
Dear Child
I am here
I've always been here
Watching you
Guiding you
When you asked
and were willing to accept my help
God, I am struggling
I am lost
Tell my why
I shouldn't jump
Child, don't you know the answer?
It is deep within you
in your heart
Please God
help me see the answers
that lie in my heart
Child,
You just need to quiet things down
and listen
God, my life is in shambles
My work is demanding
My family is distant
It seems no one loves me
Child, I love you!
I always have
Isn't that enough?
Child, your life is busy because you care
your work is demanding because you have skills
your family is not distant
You just need to forgive and welcome them
God, I don't know if I can do it
I lack the strength
I fear the future
Precious Child, I am always with you
I will help
If you just ask
and willing to accept my help
God, will you never leave me
always guide me
always love me
Of course, my Child
I have been there from the beginning
And I am here at the end
I will always guide you
When you ask and willing to accept it
I always Love you
For I made you
Help me God
understand what I have to live for
Wonderful Child,
You have your family that loves you
and depends on your strength
You have friends you inspire
You have those in need that you helped
You have influenced many around you
And you have Me at you side
Dear God
Can you help me understand
that by not jumping
It is because I am not afraid to die
Dear Child
Have you not understood
what we have talked about?
You have the courage to live
Because life is better with you in it!
About this poem
This poem is written when I looked back at a though period in my life where suicidal thoughts started to enter my head. I wrote this poem depicting a conversation between a person at their witz end and God. This poem was first published on this site and can also be found in a poetry book I published in Fall 2022 called "Poems From The Heart Life's Trials and Triumphs"
