HOW SHALL I GO WHEN I DO GO?Entry #472375
HOW SHALL I GO WHEN I DO GO?



How shall I go when I do go?
Why should that bother me?
I should think about my duty,
Not about destiny.

I controlled not how I was born,
My death I can’t control.
But I can control how I live.
Let that my aim be sole.

If at all, though, I pray to God
About how shall I go,
I pray I pass off without noise
And don’t my trumpet blow.

I cried at birth, I keep crying,
As along life I trip.
Silently, Lord, I may depart,
With Your praise on my lip.



* Written in abcb, 8-6-8-6 format.

* Written as a sample poem around the prompt “HOW SHALL I GO WHEN I DO GO?” for the month of December 2006 for 15th round of my monthly contest "POETRY IN RHYME - RHYTHM CONTEST-winner"
