In Need of Redemption

Yes, I know I must go to confession. But, oh my, it has been over a year! So, what if I freeze during the session? I’m worried Father Joe might laugh and sneer. Could I not say I had only one drink? Then next time, I could say I told a lie? Yeah, but that would surely make my ship sink. Should God not know that really, I do try? Maybe, I ask all the wrong questions, right? I should just halt one punctuation mark, Since no one can hear me this lonely night. Oh Lord, I’m so cold and scared in the dark. Okay, I admit, I’m a drunk and thief. Forgive me so I can turn a new leaf.
