***

I feel incomplete

Not in defeat

I must confess

I aim to be perfect

as is

*

I don’t stress about it

and though the rest may doubt it

I am always trying for the best

For all intents and purposes

*

The best is calm

Or exciting

Always caring

I hope, delighting and kind

When the truth finally surfaces

*

If I’m in to deep

and I can’t sleep

I must confess

I deal with so much stress

As is

*

I manage anyway

Doesn’t matter what some say

I truly try for the best

For all intents and purposes

*

The best is calm

Yet igniting

Always caring

I hope

inviting

better bests

When the truth finally surfaces

*

Aim for peace and love

Not gross wealth held above us

Restricting freedom and safety

For personal gain

*

No unjust pressure on workers

Encourage instead

Offer provision and care

Don’t leave us for dead

If we can’t produce

and you see us as worthless

*

Has the deal gone to Hell?

How has it? Please tell

You know what to do

And you don’t

*

For faith I will leap

No hill is too steep

I’ve come to expect

The effort is worth it

*

I don’t stress about it

and know I can’t live without it

I really try for the best

For all intents and purposes

*

The best is calm

and providing

Always caring

Surviving

Find peace and love

When the truth finally surfaces
