how much can i do for you God?
with closed eyes and shriveled hand.
shall this cloak consume me,
and all that is still of my life?
I would,..im sorry. i want to thank
you for the chance to serve you.
i pray for the children and their health.
and the churches and mine.
but im still smiling right?
in Jesus name
Amen
Author notes
this was written in the context of a painting. a woman in a purple cloak, smiling slightly, praying on her knees. eyes closed.

I think this poem is a good starting point for something more. The subject (other than being religious) isn't concrete and it seems to sway too much making it difficult to appreciate. Thanks for entering though.
