Daddy Save the World

Daddy Save the World.

Be the superhero I know you to be. The one who comes down with flashing lights, a thunderous voice, and instantly the oceans and animals fall silent. Amazed at the magnificance of your power. Our world is in desparate need of a hero. I don't care how you come down, as Superman, Iron Man, X-Man or otherwise. But come down and save us from the destruction that us humans have created. The hellfire of gunshots and poverty that plague our cities, the burning remains of broken hearts, the lackluster smiles that used to hold such joy. Save us from ourselves.

And I know that I'm not even one to ask of such a lofty request, when my own actions have shown a lack of trust, a doubtful mind, and an apathetic heart.

But here I stand again, kneeling on the floor in front of you, with all of my control being offered to you. These attackes in Mumbai, show that nothing is permanent, nothing except you. Nothing is sacred, nothing is whole. All is broken, and yet you choose to come heal the broken. And not just one broken mess but every single one on this earth, from the shooting terrorist, to the innocent child.

You have chosen to redeem.

And on Thanksgiving I'm thankful that no matter how far I stray you redeem me, because I'm already chosen. And nothing changes that. Nothing at all.

Thanks.
