I Know My Destiny Poem by Barry Middleton

the waning disk of moon
has hurried on so soon

I stifle back a yawn
to greet the break of dawn

I wonder why it's so
for no one seems to know

why light of day or night
must ever fade from sight

no one will answer me
to God I've made my plea

I know that life must end
and then we can ascend

but I just see the signs
and pen a few more lines

the light will come again
and doom will not descend

it does not trouble me
I know my destiny

but I still must ask why
must love and life yet die

before we are set free
beyond infinity

I guess I'll never know
until the final show

then God may answer me
till then I'll let it be
