Soft Cotton In My Heart Poem by RIC BASTASA

on my way home
inside the car
silence speaks to me

i imagine God
who is so forgiving

we talked
and i told him
i sometimes took
some initiatives
and gave my best
to love
what i did not
fully grasp

i gave in
finally
his will is
best for me

with so much pain
i declare
that there is just
little

a tint of
inconvenience
which has not
killed me
these years

i thanked him
for giving me
that glimpse of
the face of
death,

more so
of the side in Him
that i
slowly touch
like some soft
cotton in
my heart
