Ralph Sergi Poet Rhyme

The Athiest

The Athiest

I was born and there was no God in sight
Was he taken like a thief in the night
At night passed on a blinking light
but not enough to stir belief

My parents felt the same as I
except to mention pumpkin pie
it evoked a spirit with a taste
when they devoured it with haste

denial made me curious
to traverse to a cultural lore
garnished with sin and disbelief
I resolved myself to say no more

I needed someone to relay
and this is what I heard her say
she whispered a prayer so she could be heard
If faith you are seekng  you will be sought

He’ll hear your plea and your soul will be caught

Beata Agustin November 26, 2018 at 8:10 AM "He’ll hear your plea and your soul will be caught." With faith in God, you will surely "see" Him. It's my prayer that you've experienced such. God bless you. Ralph Sergi November 26, 2018 at 8:19 AM Hi Beata: Thank you for your comment and I do believe.
