    Poem Commentary

    From my collection SPIRIT RHYMES

    What Am I Not Doing Right?
    Lord,please tell me what I’m not doing right
    Am I blocking my blessings being so uptight?
    Lord, I don’t know what else I can do
    Just hoping I’ll find the answer in You.
    In studying scriptures, your Word is heard
    Doing everything I can to spread the Word.
    Where are blessings when one lives right?
    Searching in tears as I sleep each night.
    My prayers too desperate to hear You speak?
    Has doubt come in and my faith’s grown weak?
    Lord, give me a sign, just a ray of hope
    Just knowing you’re there will help me cope.
    My mind is tired trying to see the unknown
    Is this the reaping for some seed I’ve sown?
    I don’t ask for much, just a little in life
    Enough to ease this continuous strife.
    I know it’s not right to question Your plan
    For You already know the struggles of man.
    But no matter what I hold on to You
    There’s nothing else I know that I can do.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
