Road To Sainthood

muffled cry's escaped my lips incoherent speech repeated words until tears dried on cheeks repentance achieved, forgiven transgression cast from mind and soul released from one more burden of pain His thought in my head digs up the past reminding me of the me I was back then oh the horror and shame, did I really do that? an instant replay of me floods my brain squatting down curling up in fetal position it throws me off balance with blatant truth crushing me to my knees, head in hands my breath escapes me as I scream for His help but sound never gives voice to my pleas I'm terrified and amazed for, He comes to me! Me, a sinner breaking commandments he accepts me, into his arms washing me clean baptized in His presence, surrounded by love He is my shepherd and I am one of his flock contest Saints and Sinners - R.E.
