An Old Man With God
The taste of tobacco on my palate.
Exhale of the smoke from within my lungs.
For what it’s worth is this really valid?
Read scripture of a man who spoke in tongues.
Well, Lord! Another soul on the daily!
With words meant only for your ears to hear.
How to speak with you comes about vaguely.
The blame is on the alcohol and beer.
Asking for forgiveness for my mistakes.
Sorry I stole from the collection plate.
Can you help me with the body aches?
A lot of debt with my sins as of late.
Lord, you kept me safe even in my old age.
Continue my story till the last page.
