Dear God
Some people claim they know just how to reach you
The best way to pray
Some say on your knees
Some say with your hands in the air
I will try either way
Or both
If you will just listen
Because I have a question
I have just got to ask you
Would it be ok
If I was your daughter
Instead of your son?
I promise to dress extra pretty for church
And I will give my boyclothes to charity
I don’t want to offend you
I just need to know
Do I go forward?
Or have I gone too far?
Some people think I am just playing
But you know better, right?
It’s a serious question
I want you to love me
I don’t want to go to hell
And I know you are busy
But I would like to know
Will you pick me up in your arms
And be my Daddy forever?
I will be a good girl, God
I promise
Because right now I am crying
Because this hurts so much
So please
Wont you send some love to me?
So I know you still want me?
I will try and wait for an answer God
But sooner would be better
Because I don’t know how much more I can take
before its too much
So please send an angel
Because I am still your child
Amen

Such a precious verse... and another for you, dear heart...
Your workmanship is marvelous--how well I know it.
Your prayer is lived out by so many here. Thank you for putting words to our questions and sadness and conflict. And your verse brings me hope as well, dear sweet sister.
Dio benedica la mia bella amici, Andrea
Love, Andrea Lena
Damn Girl...
Just really touches the heart. Best poetry I've read in a long time. Depth here, real depth. Thanks for this.
Dorothy, your precious
Dorothy, your precious prayer is wonderful and I thank you for it. I am sure that God is pleased that you wrote it to Him, I do pray that it will be answered for you and others. By the way, I love your middle name "Colleen", as it is my oldest daughter's name also. Hugs, Jan
God...that's beautiful.
God...that's beautiful.
Dear God
Will simply answer : "MY CHILS! MY CHILD! I LOVE YOU! BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE! THE SHELL MATTERS NOT, LET YOOR SOUL AND SHELL MATCH!"
May Your Light Forever Shine
May Your Light Forever Shine
The trouble is...
...it's not really a prayer any of us can answer for each other. There are plenty of voices willing to speak for God,
with others just as dead certain saying: GOD DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES! HE GAVE YOU THIS SHELL, DEAL WITH IT!
YOUR TRANSGENDERED FEELING ARE TWISTED AND SINFUL!!! And others saying: LEAVE OFF YOUR PRIMATIVE
FANTASIES AND EMBRACE THE ONE TRUE BELIEF OF ATHIESM! I tend to agree with you Stanman,
but I also believe that the essence of humility is in admitting our fears & doubts,
in seeking answers through prayer rather than from pundit A, B or C...
Anyway it's a beautiful poem. Powerful, self-honest, moving. It belongs in that big hardback TG anthology
(the one with Heather Rose's SHOES in it...) that is my crazy dream. The Best of BigCloset.
~~hugs Dorothy, and thank you! Laika
Well shit, I guess it really CAN happen here..,

Crying of a Memory
this pray brought up prayers that I have long forgotten I use to pray like that every day till i turn 25yr. That is a lovely pray that i had too sit alone cry for while before I was aboul to get my self together again to go back to work. Thank you very much for re-awaking these prayers in my heart even thou it seem like no listening it is still good too say them and too hear them. Some time saying them help too ease the pain.
Keep up the Great work here.

God hears the cries of your
God hears the cries of your heart, and I cannot contain what He wants you (all of you) to know:
"My Dear Child, I have always heard what you have said and asked in your heart.
Know this my child (and all my children) that I LOVE YOU. I have sent you messages time and again.
In my written word have I not said: For God so loved the world (that's all human kind, without exception) that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever (without exception) believes in Him (His message and purpose for coming into the world) will not perish, but have everlasting life.
I have made you the way you are in order to test others. Many who are 'religious' will cling to what they have been taught and continue to ignore me. They cling to their religion, but MY children are commanded to love one another, without exception. By this love the rest of humanity will see ME and know that I exist and care for My children. So many have failed this and continue in blindness, rejecting ME again and again. But there are some who get it, and understand. They are the ones who accept you, and all your brothers and sisters like you, for who I made you to be.
Your trials in this life are greater than many others, and because of that your rewards will be greater when you return home to be in My presence forever. Remember that I am with you always, I will never leave you nor forsake you. You will not always be aware of my presence, but that is where faith comes in. Trust me, that I have made you exactly as I want you.
Lovingly,
Your true Father, Mother (Holy Spirit), and Eldest Brother (God made flesh)"
thank you, Erin
huggles, and bless you
It's a lovely prayer.
But sadly, being a 'dyed-in-the-wool' atheist, I cannot comment much further. I wish you every success in your searches and request.
Love and hugs and good luck,
xxx Beverly. (Not dressed for church.)
thanks, Bev.
