A Itch

The desire for God’s mercy on me A wicked sinner without any hope Caused me to bend a knee in plea That God grant new ways to cope The yearning for a second chance To begin my life with God’s grace Across my heart and spirits dance It is after His love I do bid a chase The hunger for a true forgiveness Called out into my breathless soul Although I’m truly not too religious His love was sure to make me whole The craving I had for a relationship With the Son of God, my best friend The one who is the earths authorship Any amount I had for Him I’d spend The pining for a love so very sweet Sent me to a place of total reverence Where I knew that we would meet This One who made all the difference The longing for this One I needed Sent me to the welcoming Savior It would always be Him I pleaded When I needed a new behavior The itch for grace from up above Covered me with a fresh focus I knew that He was the true love The king of kings who was chosen With Him, I now have reassurance That after I die, I’ll make it to heaven Despite sin that was a usual occurrence Now I’m so very thankful of my blessing October 12, 2019 Itch, witch, glitch or twitch Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Nina Parmenter
