A Prayer For The Living

Sometimes the road has gotta end,

and we don't know the how or why.

There are some things that God can't mend,

and so sometimes it's time to die.

This is not what I would choose,

'cause I still have a lot to give,

and there's not much else to lose...

except ability to live,

so God, if you can read these lines,

I know you CAN, but are you there?

I won't ask for better times,

nor for mansions in the air,

but please incline Your head in sorrow

and give me just one more tomorrow.

The Five Minute Friday prompt this week is CHOICE. Feeling too ill for a sonnet. Will a haiku suffice?

Sakura must fall,

but the Forty-Seven Ronin

choose their honour.

Believe it or not, that took the full five minutes, and a bit more.

Sylvia thinks another tomorrow would be great, especially if it's got ice cream in it.
