GAH! NO! I'm not going to go on about how looonnngggg I haven't posted, but, really, if you were going to paint my mailbox puke green, you really should have done it before now. Really.
Shall I never have another sister?
One too few have I, and unwilling I have become
to take another, to love as loving siblings do
Have I wrought this destruction?
Is this sadness from my own hand?
Long did I wish for a brother or sister, I cared not
to leap and laugh with, through the golden fields of life
shall I never know this pleasure, my Lord?
Shall I romp alone, and run freely, but without accompaniment?
Lord, am I ungrateful?
Do my tears only reflect my weakness and folly?
Will my arms never welcome a sister,
will my hands never comfort as only a brother can?
Lord, have you shaped me this way?
Was your hand the one to give me these weaknesses?
Why must I struggle? Why must this life resist me?
Will I never laugh as only friends can?
Must I restrain myself from interaction for the sake of others?
Will my foolish weakness never leave me?
Lord, can you not afford me this companionship?
Can I find a lesser friend on this earth only?
So wise I thought myself, and so godly;
is this torture only to show the reverse?
I have no such faith.
!Noah!
