Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Reverand and the Maker

See I told you so

That I could somehow or other do it

It was always in my remit 

Unfortunately for some or other
reason unbeknownst to me

Kept so well hidden I had to
search deep inside myself for
the merest slightest glimpse or
sense of it

But I am eternally so grateful I did
because if I didn't

I would be left without anything at
all to cling on desperately to

So if nothing else I now find myself
after and at last

In a safe happy place currently still
alive today

To right my ohh so many wrongs
of yesterday

I am ever so sorry to say I made now
enabled to live and accept responsibility
for them

Given granted graciously a second chance

Both lucky and blessed and be able
to now say

I told you so

And not especially for me and my
redemption sake

But to thank you instead and not
a fool out of you

For having and place your faith and
unaired belief in me

When everyone told you not to bother
put and save yourself first and foremost

And condemn those that have sinned
in the past and hold it forever against
them as permanently on their record

Until the day they die and so eventually
prepare to meet their

Reverand and Maker

And then let him be the judge
