For Awhile
by Jonathan Richard Cring
I came to stay awhile
Taking my turn at the trial
Giggling at the silly dog
Admiring the antics of the leaping frog
Considering the second mile.
Birth–beyond my control
Gradually took its toll
Making me question my reason
Always striving to be pleasin’
Without losing my soul.
The minutes jump the hour
And soon become a day
The days abandon the week
A month just slips away
The years are far too meek
The last breath slowly released
So grab on tightly with all your might
Train your thoughts for the good fight
“There is no God,” taunts the fool
Yet Father walks in the twilight cool
Still lingering in the Eden Garden.
