Repentance
written by: Sheila Henry

Have I,
a sinner
been chosen
to move in
with you Lord?
Have you forgiven me?
I haven’t been
sinless,
though I’ve tried
everyday with
a
commitment
to begin again
and again
to do what’s
right
in your eyes.
But for a past action
haunting me.
“You did that”
I repent
so I have,
I repent
more than
three times, I have
I repent.
Forgive me then
I pray.
