Thank you, Lord… for my Life

(inspired by Adoracion Paragas Sanque)

By Apolinario Villalobos

My voice may just be a faint whisper

A drowned trifling whine

In the deafening din

Of humanity

So muffled

My, Lord…

I just wanted to thank you for my life

Humble words that I say

Are just not enough

To express it -

So inadequate

For my faith…

Smaller than a speck in the universe

That’s me Lord, just a fleck

So to you, meekly, I pray

And mumble thanks

From my heart -

For my life…
