Poem
Why, why, why? Is all I ask Do you send these folk my way They're not the ones I'd choose myself But I attract within hooray You must have plans to work me Lord Have I really gone astray I try so hard to be polite You send me those who groan From trials of life Crying painful body drones But I face a war continually Lord Spine crumbling pained bones I questioned much over the years Of those you sent my way But each one has had effect on me What will I have learned today I want to tell of things you've done And why I've learnt to pray You sent me counseling to help Through things wrong in my youth Then church fellowship did help me through When marriage went down sluice A teacher friend taught me much In assertiveness and truth You sent me someone kind and true When I'd thought life was gone A friend of a friend a neighbors brother Turned out to be the one Who'd bring me home and settle again Protect me and my two sons You showed me work where I did learn The skills to pull me through In kitchens I did learn to cook In schools help my children too The staff within were pillars and rocks In illness helped me do You send others now to my house Now I can't go out all alone I used to sit and ponder sorry I couldn't do things on my own But now I have found new waters I can swim and write a poem I help others through my charity support When I can get to phone I can help in ways that others cant And control load with able zone I listen to those there struggling Look at positives not moan So I'm thankful for those folk you sent Though I don't understand your process But each time one has helped me to Understand and cope it's noticed So send someone to help I'll pray And I'll listen as perfect hostess Author's notes Okay, so I realize as it stands it needs tweaking, but at the time the pen flowed and now it needs some TLC... any ideas welcome, although I do not want to detract from the meaning/depth. Any idea of rhyme was not originally intentional so please forgive I know at present its dreadful!! Help please?
