James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Free verse

I Slip-

I slip my foot or feet I tumble
I slip my hands I drop things
But when I slip my tongue, I'm no longer talking
I slip onto...
uneven surfaces
I slip 
on waxed floors
on partially open doors
I slip
on loose floorboards
Rugs especially on stairs
I slip
On potholes in parking lots
I slip
I slip on 
liquids that'd never mopped up
I slip on grease or oil that is spilled
I  slip
On ice not melted or salted
I am a SINNER
Yet I am
Saved by the blood of the Lamb
Jesus is my embracer
As God holds and embraces me
I slip
Yet, I slip enclosed in the arms of Christ Jesus
