Love Poem: Almost Prayer

Almost Prayer

Dear God,

I know I don’t believe in you.
I know I take a lot more than I give.
I know I’m not a perfect woman.
Or even a woman, at that.

But please God, give me
A man to eat breakfast with
Or
A woman to cuddle at night
Or 
A man to leave dishes in the sink
Or
A woman to leave the keys in the door.

I know I don’t deserve it.
I know they won’t be perfect.
I know my prince charming will never come riding in on a white horse.
But please, Lord, give me someone.
