It's a serious day...you walk to 'shull'
stand at the back of the prayer hall
and with a holy book in your hands
you ask for forgiveness
there is a whole list of things to forgive
at best I would like to forget
yet each year sees that I am reminded
of what I can do to make myself a better person
there's always room for improvement...they say
even though old habits die hard...they say
can I say something new, something different
that I can stand out of from the 'rest'
and really mean what I am here to do...
it is a constant hope...much in vain
but so is a hope toward resignation
to honestly accept, I am what I am
born into forgetfulness
taken to see the good and the bad
within serene and majestic scenes

I am human, exiled from eden
an apple of creation, not a heathen
born with a conscience, born to err
born to wish a life that's fair.

Welcome WordWizard:

This was a waterfall from the heart, as I read and considered so carefully each line.
We are all at the back of the room, if we are honest...
It is warm there, with like hearted folk.

" to honestly accept, I am what I am
born into forgetfulness"

You spoke my mind with words I could not.

This is a keeper. I am so glad something called me to read this tonight.

Indeed! Very much enjoyed this poem.
