Len Gasun Poet Terzanelle

What If

I laid my back on the soft sofa bed
To draw myself out from stress and sadness
But inklings with regrets whirled in my head.

Was dreaming to become a deaconess
For a full-time worker in God’s service
What if I’d pursued, workloads bring lightness?

Less kids at Sunday schools, I’m more at ease
No lesson plans… just teach bible verses
Play the hymns on church organs without cease.

What if I’d become one of the nurses
Taking care of patient and not grader
Lots of patience, but no hugs and kisses?

What if I would be a teacher forever
Rejuvenation comes once in a while
To play with kids as friend, sis and mother?

As my thoughts swirled, I gave myself a smile
I laid my back on the soft sofa bed
Rejuvenation comes once in a while
But inklings with regrets whirled in my head.
