MISTILY AKIN
This feeling of misty blue
No matter what I think or do,
The sufferings of humanity
I can’t find tranquility
 
What would life have been?
Had I not subrogate at eighteen!
Living my youth in strife
I thought it would be out of my life
 
Determined to chart my own destination
Contraposition by consternation,
Bewildered at this present juncture
My mind is clustered about the future
 
When all is said and done
Would I have lost or won?
Far be it for me to know
For I can’t even see tomorrow!

Though fallible and totally imperfect I strive to do God’s will, but bewildered I am by life’s strife, that comes with many stripes.
