You Want Me to Accept the Blame?
Virginia Salter

I was weak
I was tired
The world went right on
Luring me
Making promises
Prompting thoughts of reckless spawn

I could not see
I could not pray
My tongue filled up my mouth
My sinew was as a single thread’s
Attempt to hold a house.

I went along
As tide did pulse
As rivers flowed with me
My path was changed
By whim and strain
As streams head to the sea

Now would you say
Now would you chide
The moves that I did make
Could have been
Some other way,
To protect and keep me safe?

Came in to ask if this was too much religion to receive comments. It's actually a rebuttal question to the pastor, in its theme. However, when I popped in I saw how it came out on the board. The ME was the part that was supposed to be extra big and the rest of the title the same as the first 2 words. Didn't mean to yell. I almost laughed out loud when I saw how the title came out, I think it would have been hysterical/nervous laughter though. Sorry for shouting. ;o

Minister didn't shout at all, neither did I, but the type sure did. ;o}

You can move it to the spiritual forum if you like. I've never been there myself. Didn't even realize there was one. Observant, aren't I?!
