“However Many” – Day 7 of National Poetry Month

However many years without a way to feel
We’ll be alright
However many years without
That guiding light

Morning after morning, here I cry
Another day, another try

However many nights of failing
There’s always more
However many people hurt
There will still be more

Morning after morning turns to night
And forgiveness passes by

However I was made to be
I have not been
However good or strong I look
And I still sin

Killing is a habit in my life
And every word, another lie

However these evil days progress
Trees turn green
Whatever evil I have done
Some grass stays green

Night to night, to labor should I die
Another day, another try
