This is a poem about the sinner's prayer in which they seek guidance and repentence.
"Searching for You"


I'm as stubborn as an ox,
but I can't fight the wind.
and not until I'm waist deep
have i realized I've sinned.
Along with my friends,
I try to reach my golden oz,
But as long as it's not for me...
I know that it's a lost cause.

God promises a safe landing,
but not a calm passage;
which makes it difficult
to disregard temptation and distractions.

With good intentions
he follows through with intervention;
as the more you try to hide
the more he sees;
so i bow down and seek repentence,
as an angel on bended knee...
