Prayer of An Overseas Worker

I consumed half of my prime life And little I know the dark side I’ve kept apart, sorrows grow rife In virtual silence, I reside I kneel down to pray they are well Sure enough, that keeps them all safe To quench yearning, in poem I tell O’er the years to ward off my chafe Be passive to the fast escape of time Brings me closer to homecoming Desire blazed a trail, time to climb To prey on moments is stunning Please forgive my ghostly status For I am the pillar of house My struggle I offer gratis A journey with you, sail is douse September 27, 2015

Thank you, Olive, for an uplifting message. This is the life of an OFW, but will always remain happy despite the many struggles. (^_^) Noel.
