Marilyn Williams Poet Blank verse

Am I Guilty

I often ask the question am I guilty?
Did I do all I have done?  Was it worth
my time to have come.  Am I guilty of not
doing more, than that you have sent me for?

Is it fair to count the moments or the energy
I have spent. In doing what I thought was right,
only to see how things went.    

Was it what you want of me, 
for I know not how to please Thee.  
Is it time for me to quit,
and take no part in it?  
Am I guilty after all
and am I now to take the fall.
