Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Faith in Me

My master told me he'd be gone

For quite a while, in the meantime

He said he depended upon

Me, his servant, and so now I'm

Entrusted with my master's house

And its care until his return.

Will I serve well, or will I louse

It up? An unknown that I yearn

To know. Will I be worst or best?

Of myself, I am not so sure.

Serving my master is a test

For me, that each day does occur.

My master left with faith in me.

When he returns, who will I be?
