A Light At the End of the Tunnel

So filled with flaws always headed in a wayward direction
The one who so often falls and is anything but a reflection
One very large plank in my eye that even I am able to see
Very often late to realize in just the knowing that that's me

How many times have I fallen carrying my own cluttered past
Some of the things were appalling not how I'd want to be cast
But I do have one redeeming quality that I speak of so proudly 
The one thing that I can see is it's the Lord Jesus who set us free

A road that's been so very long as it is often that I've gotten lost
Not one who can be so strong and thus paying such a terrible cost
But I had that one Light who was always Lord, every night and day
All those times that I lost my sight and in return I would then betray

But in each one of His Lessons I would slowly in turn come to learn
Each of them Blessings was always the one thing that I could discern
Imperfection well that's just my nature but in the following of His Way
It's no longer something I can ignore in learning it's best not to stray

This is a good poem. I have one called light at the end of the tunnel. God is a forgiving God he always guides us back if we loose our way.never will he leave you never will he forsake you

So true Diane. Funny you have the same title. The Light that never forsakes. God Bless.
