Like Him

The central moment

Of my only meaning

Is the image

Of a man

Who went about

From place to place

And ended up

A failure.

 

I can never

Be like Him:

I haven’t got the guts

To live so close

To charity.

 

But, I can have my dream

To liven things up.

You see—

I need Him;

His manliness,

And courage,

And kick,

To give my life

Its meaning!

Good one, especially the second stanza.
