Poem Number Six in a series on a retelling of a classic werewolf tale:
Prayer For Courage by Michael Doyle Look deep - is it a surprise? Do you see the beast in my eyes God knows that I wish to be good And I pray this is understood Often times, I feel this urge As it moves through me as a surge There is sadness in my mortal heart Often proving pensive since the start Looking hard for all of the signs For the greater good of the divine Though I stumble for all my flaws I whisper my hopes before God's law But there it is, to no real surprise The savage beast inside my eyes Though God knows I desire to be good I pray for forgiveness and being understood I stand in this world all alone Though desperately I've sought a home Cards read and fortunes told My prayer for courage is perhaps too bold (c) July 6, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
