Syncopation

The pulse of my life 
is a constant arrangement
The rhythm continuing 
through all the years.
Yet sometimes I find 
there's a sort of estrangement,
A wandering meter 
of sorrows and fears.

The beat does not fall 
where I think it ought to
The strength of the motion 
is oddly sustained.
God puts the emphasis 
where I wouldn't have thought to,
Giving my life 
an intriguing refrain.

  2. Hello Linda!
    I am very blessed by your lovely poem. My step-Dad has just had a series of strokes during his annual visit to western WA to visit our family. If you don't mind, I would like to print this out on some pretty paper to hang on his hospital wall! Giving you poet credit of course!!

    If you were of a mind, or anyone else to read our saga and pray for my step-Dad here is a link to my blog post of the first part of our continuing story.
