Poetry / And one day

And one day/ Michael Goldberger

One day I’ll stand at your doorstep
You will know that this time it’s for good
It would be clear that the world had defeated me
And finally I am on my knees.

And you’ll be as simple as always
You’ll offer some bread and some wine
You’ll offer a shoulder to cry on
But no remedy for my heart

I will cry there with endless sorrow
I would stand there with mighty rage
And you’ll hug me again very close now
All my fears will melt into pain

this made me think of the day that you repent… or a meeting with Jesus… I’m not sure if I’m right about that but this took me to many different thoughts… all around it was a good read.

Hi,
I’m glad that you saw in the poem different meaning, my intention was to write about everyday struggle. We all want to live to somthing, to be remebered, to leave a mark in this world, yet most of us will die without leaving anything after them. This poem is about someone who understands he lost this battle.
Regarding repention and Jesus, well we come from the same place, I live in Jerusalem and we’re both Jews but that’s all.
Thanks a lot for your words
Michael
