I Ask Why

I ask why- do I sometimes feel a sinner though I try not to be not strong enough at times to turn away from wicked thoughts I want love and kindness in my heart courage to accept my suffering and grief I want my soul to be beautiful and tranquil and my heart filled with peace- whenever I fail and fall in life I want the strength to get right back up and survive one more day I weep for my illness and condition (why) and I weep for all my lost friends and loves and forgive those who have hurt me I do not want to yield to despair but I do I, at last realize that possessions are meaningless (but admit I do like my stuff) and that having a beautiful soul is everything but still, I find asking myself why in the end- __________________________ March 10, 2020 Poetry/Verse/I Ask Why Copyright Protected, ID 20-1234-436-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Submitted into the F F I series FINALE Brian Strand Podium Place 2
