All Within My Power

Each time I saw mum and dad fuss Over issue of not enough I felt damp and embarrass I often thought of what to do to have this not enough Money solve, for I'm a little girl I sank within One evening it repeated itself again I lose zest that night; I pray to God Before I went to bed" dear wonderful and miraculous lord Please increase the money that dad dropped upon The table before morn as you morphed water to wine Within a wee" I woke four times to check If 't has been increased, but not, these make Sleep to elude the ocean Un-countable thoughts whirl swiftly within my brain Then I arrived at a point " I'd better Help them to divide each into four" I raised and moved ahead, as I held to tear It; I heard "don't" from the rear Oh! Mum I wanted to help you This is all I can do! 9/2/15 Contest Instinct of innocence Sponsor by Justin Bordner
