Flossie Gierke Poet Free verse

Message Received

It’s only that I care for you that you need to
This message was a trick
Don’t you want me to be happy?
This message was hidden.
Because I said so,
This message was too hard.
I wouldn’t ask if 
This message was a lie
Because I love you, that’s why.
This message was lost in translation.

Why is it the simplest request?
And the most heartfelt questions
Are often met with rules, stipulation, and manipulations?
Only God offers you true love and happiness,
He says, “Come to me all who are weary, and I will give you rest.”
