Relections of An Offender

Reflections of an offender,
that’s way short of Eden’s splendor,
stares back at me from the pages,
of written light for all ages. 
 
Try as I might to make changes,
I fall short and owe the wages,
due to the inherited sin,
dwelling in all of Adam’s kin. 
 
But reflecting Love’s true image,
is what I see in the message,
paid for by the Son's sacrifice,
to free mankind of every vice.

Very well written Al! Adamic sin plagues all mankind hence the need for repentance. Nice!
