MY PLACE – POETRY , AFFIRMATIONS & MORE

Once upon my childhood, for God’s love there had to be fear

His comfort I sought only arms length to please

As I repeated Acts of Contrition on my knees

Through my grandmother’s glasses I could see her glare

I knew God was above and when we die so were we

Yet narrowness and rules spelled out misery, strife

In God’s name wars began such pain, ends of life

My religion got cloudy as I searched to be free

My heart so torn, there’s more I believe

This earth which we live on simply one of the few

With such little we know can we be so naive?

Too many galaxies and moons scattered deep in the blue

My quest for more knowledge too much too conceive

My religion I let go, but in God I believe

Attempts at a ~Sonnet
