TO THE LORD

Shadows follow me wherever I go,

Essence of life seems to make me bow,

Feel the pain in my heart,

I can’t shake off this stingy dart.

Try how hard I may,

I can’t get rid of it,

Feeding upon my loss like a parasite,

And leaving it in a mess like a deserted campsite.

Your betrayal has done wonders,

I have learnt a lot to ponder,

Over my loss and gain,

And be a new man sans pain!

I am nobody compared to The lord,

Still I am destined to bear more than I can afford,

I don’t know why He is testing me,

I want Him to stop detesting me!
