Church where I sit



Church where I sit

From one building to another
Im keen on moving
Yet, here I sit
The very cage I surround myself
I'm freed by frequent darkness
The sounds I hear , sounds beautiful
Here I am trying to make each hour
In my hand lays a tool
Used for daily use
Placing thoughts like a pen on paper
Unsatisfied
I can't get satisfaction
As I sit
Making each hour count
God bless the time
God bless , my hand
God bless, my future
For I hope and plead
From where I sit
Is in a church

About this poem
