Speed dial God--No emergency, no urgency.
Just a friendly warm hello and a smile.
A moment sharing coffee with cream
And a house full of
House cats and houseplants.
Thanks for the pile of dirt on the carpet,
The uprooted plant, the furrballs,
The amazing sunrise
And the mockingbird you sent
To sing for me last midnight.
Thanks for another day,
Above ground,
Breathing.
I will try to make the most of it.

Very well written.
The only thing I didn't really like was the last line. Too bland, anticlimactic ending. Other than that, however, this was an excellent poem. So speaks the atheist. Hahahaha.

nice
I liked this write, it was simple and deep. Good job ^_^ -
so cute, although that probably has a lot to do with your choice of picture. I like that you have expressed the ease you feel toward your relationship with God. I especially liked your description of day's annoyances as a reminder that you are indeed still alive instead of letting them get you down.

I liked it! Very sweet and, I don't know, innocent, but that doesn't sound quite right...hmmmm...Well, when I find the word I'm looking for, I'll let you know LOL Nice job!

Thanks so much for the comments. I will definately keep my open for the next contest you run on the topic. Although I do think that limiting this one to 10 lines suits a purpose for those times that we forget to make time, or think we are too busy. It doesnt take long to pick up the spiritual phone and say hello, just for the sake of saying hello. And we don't always have to present him with long windy statements, or camp the mountaintop for 40 days . I know that when I allow my self even a few minutes first thing in the morning to acknowledge him and my gratitude for waking, I have a tendency to acknowledge him throughout the day more and I have a much better chance of making it till nightfall without having a stinky attitude
. Thanks for running the contest. I enjoyed the write.

Very nice...and God is our Friend...the Best we could ask for. WE need to all spend more time with Him, so my future contest will not be limited to only 10 lines. Thank you for entering.
