An Average Sinner

I wonder if I will ever see Heaven,
if my feet will be above the clouds...
I'm just an average sinner guy.

I understand forgiveness is the key
to following in the footsteps of Christ...
although, I seem to fail when I try.

I believe that I can do better
with reflection and much inner prayer...
I know that I have a great ally.

I contemplate, meditate, and marvel
at how my inner spirit has changed...
when my sins - I no longer deny.

I stand in awe of the Great Master,
and of His loving Son...
forgiveness for this average guy.
