Poem

Shadows encroach upon my heart and mind. like ink first hitting water.

I am unaware of it as it tries to dirty my soul. Anger and impatiences swell within me.

I judge with a tainted mind and heart against my fellow creation. Why am I doing such things?

I think I am righteous but I am reminded I fall short. Lord please answer my cries as I lay on the ground!

I just want to embody a grain of sand worth of your love! But I keep failing and failing.

Tears fall in frustration at myself.

Please take me by the hand heavenly Father and lift me up.

You see me as worthy and sufficient during my moments of weakness.

Help open my eyes and give my arms strength to continue clinging to you.

As I remain close to you my heart and mind will be cleansed and made new.
