Always Poem by John Sensele

Always on bended knees I pray
For slopes of hope to thrive
Although in the natural I see no ray
Of hope that takes a tenth of a second to arrive.

Always in my career as a teacher
God enables me to overcome obstacles
Fighting my prospects although I'm no clock watcher
Because performance magnetizes promised pinnacles.

Always in the midst of indecision
God creates a way
Guiding my choices with divine precision
Cos from my life God can't stay away.

Always in the heat of confusion
I call on Jesus for succor
When blessings, graces and favours in profusion
Jettison from my heart reams and streams of rancor.

Always at my lowest ebb
I remember God created me for a redemptive reason
Beyond wasting time on the world wide web
Viewing salacious stuff that lands voyeurs into prison.

Always in my sanest moments
I view forgiveness as a unifier
In a world teeming with terrible torments
If I don't transmute into a pacifier.

Always on the cusp of greatness
I sometimes bang my head against a wall
Reaping as a result sallow sadness
If I should score my own goal.

Always at the height of humility
I achieve my priceless dreams
In increased agility and versatility
If I should swim away from salubrious streams.
