Reason A. Poteet Poet Monorhyme

Bridging the Breach

Fired for mistakes I had not made,
the blame was like a razor blade.
Friction so strong, I felt afraid
until I prayed, until I prayed. 

Fear held me tighter than a rope,
Facing my foe, I did not grope.
My work withstood the microscope.
Prayer gave me hope; prayer gave me hope.

Lesson learned, my new hope depends
not on my skills, nor "so-called" friends,
not on luck,, my faith recommends
God's dividends; God's dividends.
