My Prayer

THE PRAYER Oh dear universal God, educated in religion I am not, but this I know and feel it so, with this body and mind, a soul you shall find. Confessing at times, evil led astray, as I yearned to have my own way. For goodness and God, I became blind, and at times, I did not reach, nor try to find you dear God, leaving me in darkness and disaster, hearing echoes, of evil laughter. Then to cry in pain, with guilt and shame. I pray for forgiveness, upon my knees, and for thy heavenly pleas, You answer my prayer in loving care, restoring my wisdom and sight, from evil temptation to fight. With pennance I heal, but spiritual scars still remain, a memory, not fall from God to evil again, and to help fulfil, the Godly souls with goodwill. Amen.
