Leotis Hargrove Poet Free verse

Dear, Lord Act I

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray to the Lord my soul to keep.
      If I die before I wake,
I pray to the Lord my soul to take.


Dear, 
          Lord

What else am I here for?
Why must I feel betrayed, used, lust and never loved?
Who is my guardian angel?
Where will I get motivation from?
When do I see the light?
What will my tombstone read?
Will I ever love again?
Do my family and friend love me?
Will I ever get publish as an author?
Where all my dreams pointless?
Does my life end here?
And if so, will ever Breathe Again?

Sara Kendrick March 26, 2022 at 4:48 AM At times we all have the what ifs running through our heads. Unanswered or unanswerable questions form at times in our lives when we are vulnerable. Keep talking to God and reading your Bible. If you don't have a Bible, you can type questions online and ask for it in the Bible and you will be surprised how you can find answers. Your visit to my page was delightful. Sara Leotis Hargrove April 28, 2022 at 12:22 PM Thank you Sara for all your very heartfelt words. Yes I do have a bible and i contributed my life and time to it as well. And also Sara thank you for asking me about that as well. I will pray for you and your family. God Bless and Amen.
