I Fully Respect Your Right To A God And Care If You Are Offended By My Poetry But I Am Entitled To My Opinion And Beliefs And Free To Express Them In A Reasonable, Respectful, And Responsible Way.
This rhyme inspired me....
"Before I Lay Me Down To Sleep
I Pray The Lord My Soul To Keep
If I Should Die Before I Wake
I Pray The Lord My Soul To Take"
...to write this.
"Before I Close My Child Eyes
I Do See Your Clever Guise
And Then, With My Child Sight,
Fear The Face and Fill With Fright
"Loss Of My Innocence
To This Lone Instance
Years Now Flying By
Tears Already Gone Dry
"Forever Scarred By The Lies
My Heart Shrivels, The Soul Dies
The Harvest Of The Forked Tongue
This Life Ended Before It Begun..."
