LET BE

by: Kristine Claire A. Gabatin

I do not know what face returns my stare

Everything I see was dim and blurry

That brings me fear like a challenge of dare

Brave to fight but conquers me to worry

It seems ages have passed baring this ill

How long will it stay? Is it going to last?

Oh God please make a miracle for real

A hale of blessings turns lone into dust

In front of me is God who always guide

Family of mine which brings me to light

Those real friends that joins my wonderfulride

Gifted skills and talents make me reach flight

So even though I cannot see as sch

Let be I have enough I had too much
