Sonnet #2: My Father, Who Art In Heaven

My Father, who art in heaven, why me?

I have betrayed you with Judas’s kiss

And still you say that I am saved; I’m free?

Did you make me for such a time as this?

What am I to do? I’m scared, like Moses

When you called him. Please, my Lord, tell me who

I am to You. Tell me why You chose us.

Will I speak like Aaron and make it through

The desert? Will I see the Promise Land,

Or will the sea swallow me like Jonah?

Maybe I’ll make a difference as grand

As Paul, or maybe I’ll be Elijah

Begging for death. Still, I will go like Ruth

And follow as You lead me to Your truth.
