God Gave Me

God gave me my hopes and (s)he gives me my fears

The both of which kept me alive all these years.

God gave me beliefs, and (s)he gave me my doubts,

and when I combine those, I figure things out.

God wants me to live well. (S)he gave me second chances.

and God believes in fun! (S)he invented flirting glances,

and perhaps God crowdsources. (S)he gave me my friends,

But those, I don't think, are a means to an end.
