I Failed

What have I done… There’s blood on my hands All those years all this wrong I have hated and lied, cheated and hurt My brothers and sisters friends, lover and strangers It on my hands, their blood Not physical blood, spiritual blood I have wronged so many people, destroyed so many lives I prayed for free will to be removed that I may stay true to God I failed… Failed him and made his Son’s death in vein I prayed for things I should not have… Everything has not gone the way it should have When I was young I saw myself on his lap Felt his warm hug and heard his gentle voice You are my good Son. I failed him too… Now all I can hear is what have you done I see me in front of Him waiting I hear all those I have erred screaming And I know I have done wrong I am not only going to pay for it in this life But the next Forgive me… For I have failed…

What an excellent heart felt write. We all have failed, and possibly caused others to fail. We are not saved by works but by grace, we have all sinned and fallen short. A moving poem that will touch the hearts of all that read it.
