Offering..

I ponder...
Yet I wonder!!
Was it beautiful,
When younger?

People falter
At life's alter.
Become stronger,

Yet find no answer.

Get older
More wiser....
Become adviser..
Still find no answer.

 I ponder..              
Yet I wonder!!
Was it beautiful,
When younger?

I reach further..
Become quieter.
More of a listener
Than adviser.                                                                                                                                            

And now...
I am not older
I am not stronger
I am not an adviser
Not even wiser..

I offer all these,
As a prayer
At your alter.
Come within me..
Enlighten me..
Solve all that
Unsolved within me.
