A PATH TO YOU: a sonnet

A PATH TO YOU: a sonnet


A path to you is what I strive to find,
So that I reach you ere my time is up.
I know that fathers are to children kind.
Please show your kindness, fill my empty cup.

I lived like a man who thinks he’s clever.
I never bothered to fulfil your wish.
Yet I was sure it would happen never
That without water you would keep your fish.

But now my days remain only a few;
I wish to disengage from this world now.
I want to change my direction anew,
So that I reach you and your grace somehow.

I seek your pardon, Lord forgive my sins.
Please make sure that the Satan never wins.
