Claire V. Bogdanos

I’ve always known I was a child

Polite and kind, ne’er rude or wild

Perhaps that is the reason why

My passive nature gets me by.

I wish that I could gather strength

Pursue my dreams to greater length

What is it folks are fighting for

To curry favor, change decor ?

Now I have traveled very far

Across the seas, both ship and shore

My heart has weathered many storms

And travesties beyond the norm !

My curly hair that used to be

Has now begun deserting me

It is not washing down the drain

Just tired curling up again.

While fate has opened every door

To follow through or settle score

I wonder what may soon occur

And to what power I must defer ?

The hours too fast are speeding by

All clouded with both tears and sigh

Oh gracious Lord now hear my plea

My hope is to abide with Thee !
