Benediction

Looking up the sky with tears flowing down my cheeks
For I felt like a failure in the eyes of the world
I felt like a stranger in the soil of Mother Earth
Please! Please! I cried out to our Maker
Eyes closed I was no faker

Prayer was all I could do
I needed those blessings
I had to! I had to ask the man above why
Mine are closed or was I impatient

But I needed to tackle and buckle for the world is full of haters
But anyway I went, “God Almighty rise and look my way”

I wanna be the greatest not for greed
But I wanna be your witness and spread your work
Blessings are all I’m asking for as I knelt down
With eyes closed and all I could say was, “Please”
