As My Love For God Is... Poem by RIC BASTASA

when you tell me
that there is no god
that all these
are just made up

i do not bother

my love for you brother
is greater than
this disagreement

i do not have to tell
you that God exists
that He loves me and
that I am happy

it would be creating
envy

remember my brother
i am weak and soft and gullible
but it does not really matter

my love for you is greater
than all these

so we drink to this disagreement
i toast for love
i drink for humanity
i go for independence and tolerance
and happy living

i am not sure myself
i have doubts
but my love for you is always
greater than all these

as my love for God is.
