~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I Want
By Duncan Cary Palmer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I want to write music
To make your heart swell.
I want to frame poems
Exceedingly well.
I want to tell stories
That make people weep.
I hope that my love songs
Sweep you off your feet.
I want you to know
How "The Church" fell away;
Prolonging the night,
While professing The Day.
I want to live up to
Why God put me here;
I want to convey truth
To those I hold dear.
I'd like to know why
Life keeps blocking my way?
Why troubles keep stifling
Things I need say?
Pieces are missing;
My soul's incomplete.
I struggle
My self-expectations to meet.
For "want" has a synonym,
Verging on black;
The sad truth confronts me;
"I want" means
"I LACK..."
God help me,
I WANT!
~FIN~
