Dear God
Thank you!! Today as I
opened my eyes, I was happy to see myself blessed with this beautiful life for
another day. I am thankful to you for giving me this precious and in fact a
beautiful life. I cannot express how fortunate I am to have been born to this
beautiful land, where Buddhism flourishes blessing every single being.
I know I have not been
able to live up to your expectations and always made you sad. I know I have annoyed
you and made you regret on your decision to spare me another day a several
times. I have let you down and most often I forget to chant my prayers and
remember you. I am utterly sorry for all these.
I am still like a
child. I make mistakes and often fail to distinguish good and bad. I sometimes
nag my parents too much and irritate them; I pick fight with my younger sisters
and brag about being my daddy’s’ favorite. I get jealous when my friends make
new companion and spend more time with them. I beg my pardon for all these
little mischief.
Dear god, you have
always been around, looking after me and listening to all of my prayers. You helped
me when I had no one to lean on and helped me overcome my fears. You gave me everything and I cannot
imagine what would become of me without you.
They say god helps
those who help themselves, but as for me I have always found you so considerate
and benevolent. You have showered me with your love, blessings and compassion
in every moment of my life and this has made my life worth living and in fact
living happily. Of course there are times when I have complained and often
cursed this life of some of the miseries it brought in, but I sincerely don’t mean
anything I’ve said or done to hurt you dear god.
I know I am lazy enough
to go visit you, especially during auspicious days, but that doesn’t mean I don’t
worship you or remember you. You are always in my heart. Thank you dear god,
for bearing with me and my stubbornness and I’m sorry for my forgetful mind
that often makes me skip my prayers, for not visiting you often and making
offerings. I know this hurt, but I assure you that you’re always loved and worshiped.
You are always remembered and forever respected.
Sincerely
Yours,
Gayleg Dema
