Dear God, Do You Have a Minute?
By Anthony Douglas Gere
I know I've never asked anything from you, and fully know that you are
what brings things together and answers request and questions. Well let
me re-phrase that, I have asked for things, but this time it’s really different
and special to me, and really has nothing to do with me personally. I've
always relied on the gifts and talents you gave me to succeed, and know
how busy you are helping those that can't help themselves. But today is
an exception, and even if you don't answer my request, I ask that you
please at least listen to me, because I'm alone right now, and there's no
one I think that cares. Knowing how busy I am, how busy you are goes far
beyond my realm of thinking, so I'm just asking for a few minutes. If you
do give me those minutes, I beg that you hear me more than listen please,
because this request is selfishly for me, but not for me to profit, if that
makes any sense. Now as you read my profile, you may wonder what do
I need more of, or how could I have the nerve or gall to ask for anything
else? But once again, this is only my request, and is not for me, just
mankind and someone very very special that can help mankind in ways I
never could. I fell in love last week, and only really realized it today.
I'm at my grandmother’s grave site right now, and though the tears
are flowing uncontrollably, and my vision blurred beyond description,
I can see clearly, with a clarity that only could come from this
moment. Now though I've always been mis-understood, and conquered
odds that were farther than the nearest planet, I feel very humble right
now and beg you to listen to me. I've also spoke to your disciples Faith,
Hope, Destiny, Fate, and Love. They told me to talk to the woman I just
found that turned my life into something, and my grandmother, and they
have blessed me with these words to you. The pain I now feel, is tearing
me apart. I can't work, eat and even those that are close to me, can't
come near me now, because no matter how much they love me, they
know they can't help. So please hear me out, and at least consider my
request God, if you have a minute. Now you may wonder why I'm taking
out the time to write about someone I barely know in terms of time,
easy. You see we as a couple if that so happens, can help the world.
You see we both have this ability to give and help people. So being that
as it may, though she hasn't proven that to me but I believe it, with our
combined powers, we can be the definition of love for others to see,
feel and witness. Now the way I see it, others will notice how we are
different in the same way, and overcome the troubled times, to be the
answer on why you should and shouldn't treat people like a certain
way. How that once what may have been seen a obstacle or wall you
can't get over, can be turned into a stepping stone for greater things.
