James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Free verse

Dwelling There In the Forgiveness Place-

Before the laughter cries
Defeatist tears flow down your eyes
  I walk on in my mind into the beginning this place
The space where God gives me Amazing Grace
Compelled to relish and sinful pride
Caught up locked up and deceitful lies
Where is the forgiveness
Why have I been dismissed
By chance that I should do or die
So in reverence I see to repent 
For I hear the Lord's Battle Cry
Where is my happiness
I digress
Such a mind
So unkind
Intertwined
Benign
I seek God's grace
I stand before Him in the forgiveness place
