Easter Morn
While sitting in mass this Easter morn
My heart was weary--- my soul shorn
As our priest stood before us asking where we would be
In God's intimate circle, at the last supper, you see
My mind thought long and hard on that one simple question
For I would be unworthy to be near Him-that is my mention
In this picture in my mind I would be kneeling at His feet
For sins I have committed---no longer whole or complete
What would I say to Jesus--"O' My Lord please forgive me of my sins
Help me to be a better person---from the outside to the within
Guide me on a path to reach the Gates of Paradise
You can teach me -- because You alone are so wise
Tell me what more can I do to achieve more of your "Light"
Help me to fight the evil temptations from morning to night
Show me how to forgive not only others...but to forgive myself
Anymore I am not sure how---for I am lost among a hidden shelf
Be merciful O' Lord to me...a human, a woman, a sinner
Walking with You is the only way I am to be a winner
Point me in the right direction of morality, compassion and love
Guide me to teach others of You....to show them how to reach You above
Thank you Jesus, My Brother, for dying for me--for us all
In Your sacrifice we are freed from the constraints of our human fall."
