Crista Gorman Poet Dramatic Verse

So Far Away

I should be perfect, I should be brave
  I should know how a girl should behave.
Quiet, submissive, gentle and kind,
 with control of myself and control of my mind.

 I just want to gather my children and run
                                          ....so far away.
     but I dont know, to many "mabeys" and "if's".
I should be their safety net,
      where in this world do we belong?

I dont think we belong in this world gone wrong.




   psalms 55:6-8 I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at 
rest--I would flee far away and stay in the dessert;
        I would hurry to my place of shelter far from the tempest and storm.
