Belief

What stories do the stars tell.

Is what I wonder.

What will my maker look like?

If I have one at all.

Mother doesn't understand,

Disdain and scorn.

Her belief crowds her own.

How will you really know?

If your god exists,

Than he should love me all the same.

If he doesn't,

I'd rather not say.

So I won't worry about it.

As persay.

I will live my life the best I can,

And see what comes my way.

Author's Note

I'm agnostic, so I wrote a poem about it.

I commented on this about a poem earlier today. Look, if God is omnipotent, then He knows what's in our hearts. If you live a good life, you're cool with God. I don't think He needs to be praised all the time. That's just lip-service.

A common soul-search, does God exist. Without proof the next logical leap of faith often leads one to the decision that, "I'd better just be the best person I can be and the rest will take care of itself." Which you know, kind of what God really asks us to be anyway, right? Nice train of thought. take care...dan

I agree.
"I will live my life the best I can,
And see what comes my way."
The above lines is the way to live. Just do our best and hope for a good ending. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

I like this view on life and I'm similar in that way. I won't dedicate myself to something without proof and if it is real, then great, it's real. If not, no biggie. Life goes on!

Nice write :) There are so many unanswered questions... it's good to ask and try to find out. Anyone that tells you they have all the answers is a liar lol... nice work :)

If you are agnostic, great for you Riv, really!
at least you are not a fool. athiest

but, to not be wise enough to know that a being greater man, far greater than man, a God is responsible for the world that we exist in borders on irresponsibility! Can we agree on that?

And what may come is truly all we ever have to look too.
