*A Pleading Prayer*

As I pray....

Please Lord forgive, didn't quite give it all I had,
left you so disappointed, my family all so sad. If I
could do it all over, knowing me I'd do the same, to
see pictures of my family, me, I was left out the frame.
I pray to be a better father, between you and me,
a son too, as you are the shepherd in this life, this
black sheep was sent to you. As I lie here in darkness,
all my sins you please forgive, all reality starts to
clear, no room in life for pretend.
As again starting over, look to you when times get
hard, should've leaned on you all along, these deep
cuts would be no scars. As I pray, then I see, insane
thoughts come to light, stuck in a hole with no rope,
no help there in sight.
You said, no more than you can bear, but this
weight is like a boulder, lifting my chin to the skies,
I'll prove you a faithful soldier. I pray to you Lord, to
please cleanse this blackened soul, if I carry it to the
streets of gold, I'll never afford the toll. For I see
you've cleansed my heart, the world I'd love to tell,
it's all just a choice in life, a pleading prayer from a
cell. ~VeepLee~
