MAY – I

MAY – I

I’m not quite yet the person
I want to be for you.
The process may take eons
Before the work is through.

I’m not quite yet the servant
I long to be for Thee.
The meekness may take ages
To offer perfectly.

I’m not quite yet the daughter
I hope to be for Him,
My weaknesses seem larger –
Though time makes Love less dim.

i think the use of parallel structures is very effective here.

Thank you. Some of these are meditations rather than "poems." Verse becomes a way to process feelings and express ideas.
