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
I wrote this poem cause I was sitting alone in my church while waiting on my mom (she is a Sunday school teacher) and had classes on Saturdays this was the same time I had extra classes for English and after my class was done i walked to the church I was just thinking about the exams coming up and was worried and I was thinking alot I felt I was in the dark corner cause I was just sitting , wondering about what am I going to do am I ready? did I do enough? and just started writing this poem cause writting eased my mind just made me focus on other things
