I Remember It So Well

It was the 14th day of the 4th month In the 20th year of the 21st-Century The Common Era. I remember it so well! Not because it was the hundredth plus five, today Of what appeared to be the hoped-for, tomorrows In what should be the worst calendar, To any peoples' year. But only because it was the first time, I tore down on what ought to have been, My happiest day It was the beginning of a new phase. The first page of the 26th chapter Of the book, that was my life And the last paragraph on that page, Had to be the realization that things Could turn to what no one wanted_worst! Maybe I was wrong to not kneel. But I prayed so hard in my heart, For Him to hear us Because in the shortest time A lot had been claimed of us. And I became a witness of people Who began to lose faith in each other! Folks who given time and a choice Started giving up the self to the unknown. It was the first day of another year in mine life And it was the day that spelled doom! I hated it. But I wished for a conviction, One that made me trust, in my prayer For all to be well, To wake up to a world Where we were all sure of tomorrow, as today, Everyone and everything was healed The universe and its bearings emerged stronger In spirit and form, In body and bond, Together as one, With self and others
