Please Lord- Can I

All my life, there is one thing I've always dreamed of One thing, with the help from the man up above I have wished for this ever since I was a child Ever since a teen, adult- carefree and wild Many times, I looked up to the heavenly sky And I asked the Lord- "Please Lord- can I" Can I sacrifice my soul, my breath, my life If need be, I'll sacrifice not having a wife I'll walk all over the world for good happenstance If only, dear Lord, you'd give me the chance The chance to spread love and happiness to all To lift up the spirits to those who may fall I've wished I can die and come back to life again And show once again to all women and men That I was sent back, from heaven to earth To let everyone know that the Lord's words are worth He will always love you, and be there by your side As long as you follow in his laws to abide To make everyone happy and share all our love So lovely a thought I've always dreamed of Dreaming Poetry Contest Sponsor: Regina McIntosh 5/31/2023

Congratulations on your win! Your poem could be a Kyrielle—it meets the criteria. You just maybe a bodhisattva Charlie (Enlightened being)—postpones nirvana to help people on earth :)

Beautiful Charles. But Jesus already did that for all of us. He did everything you have always dreamed of doing and more. All that is left for us to do is accept His Sacrifice and follow Him as best we can. Good Stuff here. Good Luck in the contest. God Bless, JB

Wonderful prayer "If I Could" & "Can I" I hope you are ok. I am not sure if you got my soup mail for permission for your poems on the new book. I am finally able to work on them. Since I was scammed 2 months ago I've been afraid to get on my computer.
