Master, Me Poem by Bonnie Shipman

Master, Me

Rating: 5.0


those failed moments when i spoke out of turn
tell me, daddy, they didn't

master me
that urge to spend myself on temporary pleasures
tell me, dearest, it didn't

master me
the rising frustrations which burst to burn my family
tell me, friend God, they didn't

master me
that sorrow of despair, defeat, questioning recovery
hold me, Father, and fully

master me

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
After a day of disappointing myself in little ways, I accumulated the desire to stop being mastered by them! God is a much better master than any failing I could possibly have.
