Spoke to
God again
They put
You to
Your knees
Don’t they
He asked
I nodded
Yes who
Helps you
Stand He
Asked You
Do I
Prayed no
He said
I simply
Raise your
Eyes to
Mine it’s
You that
Then stands
Spoke to
God again
They put
You to
Your knees
Don’t they
He asked
I nodded
Yes who
Helps you
Stand He
Asked You
Do I
Prayed no
He said
I simply
Raise your
Eyes to
Mine it’s
You that
Then stands
Lost I
Looked and
Found none
Then remembered
A mouse
I’d known
I’d freed
Him from
A trap
And gave
Him back
His life
In darkness
I know
That what
I seek
Is not
Mine but
Those lives
Of others
To help
Which is
A blessing
For sure
Life lives
We fail
And learn
And if
Lucky we
Uncover the
Truth that
Life isn’t
About us
But about
Them and
Somehow some
Of us
Must shoulder
The burden
Of others
To lessen
Theirs there
Is a
Mantra to
Repeat I
Am here
For you
And just
Then when
I’d thought
No one
Knew you
Knocked with
A laugh
And I
Listened I
Realized that
Then what
You said
Was true
You so
Young with
Your wisdom
We are
But roses
Fragrant eye
Popping succulent
Blossoms at
First glance
But to
Hold one
Close is
To bleed
Me I
Prefer the
Bite of
The thorn
Then I’ll
Know the
Pain of
Having you
My beauty
