Who I Am Today

They like
This man
Who I am today, but
This old junkyard
Brings back
All my past
I am not perfect
Not it at all
I killed a man
With my bare hands
What redemption exist in a man
Lord, I put it all in your hands

Nice write! I appreciate this honest exposure. We all have killed others in a way, if not physically, spiritually, by either words or deeds that were of a destructive nature. God forgives the sincere. To undo the wrongs we have done, we have to serve those we hurt. Thanks for sharing, wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy, eventful new year 2010! Caroline.
