He was confused…perplexed…bewildered…having trouble finding his way
so he got down on his knees and he began to pray…
Dear God, he asked, what happens when I find a person whose life has intertwined with mine…
When I find a like this person…when I find this person to be kind?
A person I love to talk to, with whom I can share my hopes, my dreams…my fears
A person I love to listen to…whose smile can wipe away my tears?
What happens when I find someone who makes me want each moment not to end?
"THEN CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY…FOR YOU HAVE FOUND A FRIEND! "
And what if my feelings merge into love…and what if this person feels it too?
"THEN CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY…FOR LOVE HAS CHOSEN YOU? "
But what if this person is my same sex…or a different religion…or yellow, red or black?
"IT DOESN'T MATTER…DOES IT…IF THIS PERSON LOVES YOU BACK? "
"FOR WHEN YOU FIND A PERSON TO SHARE YOUR LOVE THROUGH LIFE AND ALL IT'S TESTS…
THEN EVERYDAY YOU ARE ALIVE….CONSIDER YOURSELF BLESSED."
But how can I love this person…when it is not what I've been taught?
And here God smiled….
"IF EVERYTHING YOU TOLD ME IS TRUE,
THEN I MUST ASK…
HOW CAN YOU NOT? "
