All I Need

All I Need

A Poem by Will

I don't go to church.
I don't hate gays
I don't fast during Lent
But I pray
I pray
And I firmly believe in God

I don't have to go to church to believe in God
I don't have to discriminate to believe in God
I don't have to fast to believe in God
But I have to pray
Because he listens
And I receive his Grace

I don't take orders from an old, shriveled up man in Italy
I don't have men in all black tell me that I need to confess my sins to them
I don't have nuns scold me over not going to church
I don't have radicals tell me Im going to hell

But I have prayer
And I have God.

And that's all I need

Sorry if anyone thinks I'm a religious loon, but I'm on a God kick at the moment. It should pass.
