Believe
Once upon my childhood, for God’s love there had to be fear
His comfort I sought only arms length to please
As I repeated Acts of Contrition on my knees
Through my grandmother’s glasses I could see her glare
I knew God was above and when we die so were we
Yet narrowness and rules spelled out misery, strife
In God’s name wars began such pain ends of life
My religion got cloudy as I searched to be free
My heart so torn, there’s more I believe
This earth which we live on simply one of the few
With such little we know can we be so naive?
Too many galaxies and moons scattered deep in the blue
My quest for more knowledge too much too conceive
My religion I let go.......but in God I believe
Attempts at a ~Sonnet
