Well, this is my first poem entered on-line at CF. Let me know what you think.
Forgive Me
I'm trying to make my peace with God
Asking Him to heal me from my sin.
I'm trying to soften this heart of stone
And otherwise bridge this awful chasm
Because I'm hurting so very badly
And my pain and my anger - my grief
And my despair at my wretchedness -
Consume me (and I am near to tears).
I hope You know, Lord, how sick
And tired I am of being sick and tired
And recovering from my sin and separation.
But if You wouldn't mind so very much
Forgive me?
