Asleep


Sometimes I look at myself and I think -
there's something dormant in me,
- asleep.

Sometimes I wonder

      what hasn't grown

      what hasn't developed

      what hasn't shown?

Surely there's more to me -

than I am!

Some hidden talent, some unknown

man.

Something I can do

but

still haven't tried.

Something I must do before

I must die!

There must be more to life

than just tea

and

bringing up babies

one, two, three.

There must be more than just 

living

each day

and eating and drinking

and waning away.

Lord give me wisdom to know

what to do,

to experience this world

of yours

to the full.

I'm full of potential thats

wasting away -

all that potential will be

buried one day.

Sometimes I look at myself

and I think,

'something is dormant inside - me

asleep'.
