What and Why?
6/23/02
Today is Sunday
It’s the Lord’s day
Time to try and protect your soul
And worship his name
God must have a plan
Something I still must do
What, I just don’t know
I should have been killed
Why that truck hit me on that road
I’ve a feeling my task
Concerns people living in the street
Maybe my poems of street life
And hard times
Are the key to what I need.
This is a new skill
I just didn’t know I had
I just started writing one day
Around my birthday,
It’s a puzzle that I have to solve.
It stays in the front of my mind
It’s all I think of
The Lord will let me know,
In His own way
All I know to do
Is be patient
And pray.
