your heart

Doreene Felder 1967 (Phila.)

Elegy
A surrendered heart
A heart. That wants a better ending
It wants a better life than it has now
It wants to change for the better
It wants to be more obedient
To what is right
It says I am tired of what's not good
It says change me dear Lord
It says I want a better life now
It says keep me oh God
It says I surrender
It says I need help
I can't. do this by myself.
I surrender
I surrender
It says life has to get better..
