God?
I'm tired, Lord.
But I want to be a better person.
I want to be Jesus.
But, God? why...
Do I really have to take the hard way?
I don't want to be "grown-up".
I... I want my life to be an easy breeze:
Do well on tests.
Be pleasant around all of my friends
and even the people I don't talk to...
And love my family...
But God?
Are you making my life more difficult
because you love me?
And ... you want me to grow?
Because... maybe, I can take it?
I'll let those thoughts be a consolation to me.
And find comfort in your... LOVE...
for
me

Thank you for your entry. I liked the direct address to God within the poem and felt that you thought hard about the structure of your stanzas.
good luck in the contest -
It is uplifting! Even though life can be hard at times, we have to have struggles at some point, otherwise we never learn anything. Plus, God knows what's best for us, so sometimes we have to fall down just so we can see what His plan is.

Very thought provoking.
Your poem makes one think about life and its' consequences. I believe you have captured what God intends for us in an excelent way. I believe that He puts stumbling blocks in our way to see if we use our minds and belief in Him to solve them. He love us very much but wants us to grow in strenght to be able to face lifes reality. Keep your faith and He will see you through. Good poem well done.
