Fix Your Eyes On Me Poem by Anna Mae Angana

When I kneel down to pray,



I look at your image in your altar of shame and blame.



With my eyes fix on you today,



I want to let your eyes to always see me.



As my gesture of desperation;



I’m here because I have no one to talk to.



When I continuously stare at you,



I realize you never take your eyes off me;



Everyday of my life,



You always follow me wherever I go,



I soar and wonder in this battlefield;



I bow my head and pay my great reverence,



To your greatness and continued guidance each day of my life.
