Man Power

You my God, you are my father
all those men I have met in my life is made in your picture
and I have learned how to cope with difficulties
from them
many ways of tackling a problem
When there is an obstacle some become angry
other try immediately to find a solution
I have seen film with Truffaut
saw a movie about making a film
he never got angry
but was finding a way to solve the problem
with fantasy and calmness
So God help me to do it his way
Go for the way into the door
and not being occupied of the hindrances
Use what I have learned about problem solving

Now I am a bit tired
so what do I do
go to sleep after the news
Enjoying the calm city
and classic music in the radio
Take my pills
wash my hands
brush my teeth
And then sleep
waiting for tomorrow
Silent melodies in my mind
and talking with you as a ritual
praying pater noster
as my sister told my
when I was a kid
Praying is a fine way to tackle fear in the night
But everything is calm
Here
Now
So just to remember,
You
God
Trying to believe that you are alive
As you were before I left you
Believing as a little boy
Knowing that I am a man.
