The Prodigal Child

THE PRODIGAL CHILD My life He has in His hand Creatively He molded me with sand Into my nostrils He breathe The breath of life. Disobedience I practiced The forbidden fruit I ate On the oath of sin I traveled Neglecting my creator. Several times back I went To my creator, pleading Pleading for forgiveness Mercifully, He forgives. Back to the sinful world I went A prodigal child I am Living a pleasurable life Filed with sin Yet, when remorseful Back to Him I went Pleading. Merciful father, I’m sorry I cry with sorrow Knowing that He hates sin Irritating I am to Him Yet, He washes away my sin With His precious blood I become His once again Privileged to have Jesus.

Very well written Lizzy! I like your style of writing - straightforward and refreshing. We all make mistakes but not all of us acknowledge our mistakes and make amends. Only repentance can lead to forgiveness. You've said it best.
