Doubter Me By Terry Cooper

The Doubter Me?
by Terry Cooper


The Doubter Me?

 

Here stands one who doubts!

Even though I know the goodness of man,

and of course the other side of humanity.

Though I somehow know God is there for me,

I am never-the-less driven to question a future……

 

I believe beyond the screen of smoke and mirrors,

there is a heaven we will all share-in eventually.

Tis just that approaching hurdle of indistinction….

Receding, approaching, receding once again….

Teasing us into submission, preparing our way.

 

I sometimes struggle physically, fighting for breath…

When feeling close to something final, mind reaching

out for a shred, a glimmer of a well-trodden pathway…

Perhaps a hand, a light at the end of a tunnel…

Not yet eh Lord? I smile and patiently resolve to recover. 

 

After a while, warm and comfortable in bed, I reflect

on my apparent frailty of mind, “not so” I reiterate.

It is the darned calls upon my sense of belief…

There is a weakness there after all! That is news to me!

The weakness is temporary, and will be dashed in due course!
