An angry tempest
spun this world
that I called mine
fueled by life’s shortcomings,
plus my own selfish deceit
I dizzied round and round
in the world
according to me.

A gentle breath
coursed a push
in the opposite direction
my trail of destruction
now in clear view
I have to say
there was not a dry eye
when I stood face to face
with the world
according to me.

No longer standing tall
barely able to kneel,
not by my strength
but by Grace instead
repentance and I embrace-
and oh how I thank you
for the difference
in the world
according to Thee.

Its been a few-
the years do fly, mending
the devastation is still ongoing.
Some cleanup days grow to be
weeks and its good that dedication
is commanded,
but oh how I thank you my Lord
for leading my world
according to Thee.

repentance and I embrace-

One beautiful constant in these conflicting worlds... your heart... *S*
Not many have the courage to look at their own actions with the clarity you demand of yourself...
You make us all stronger... better. *S*
