Miracle, A Poem

Cedric, Christianity, Family, guest poet, relationship with God, Religion

My son Cedric penned this poem and I just had to post it here.

Miracle

Is my life ending?

I lie on my bed

My mind in turmoil

I try to the best of my ability

But I still can’t shake off this feeling

That something can go wrong

If only I can turn back the wheels of time

I will make it right

2

I do not go through this alone

Many others feel the same anxiety

Only I am a little less apprehensive

Because there is a sliver of light penetrating this darkness

Believing in the Divine Being that keeps me moving

Believing that a miracle will come my way

The day of reckoning has come upon me

Cedric Nudanu – 12/03/2020

The Cherita was created by al li. I’ve fallen in love with this lovely poetry form. And for each working day I shall endeavour to post a cherita a day on my blog. 🙂

Meteorite

gift from the gods

a sign really
that heaven is in my grasp 

cupping a star
in my palm
this fallen meteorite
