prayer for the slowly dying #12

Not by my own strength

I say I am the vulnerable
that I would know
from where
springs my strength.
Naïve, that I would not be
tainted by the hardness
of this world, and
laughter that heals
from within.
But I also admit
I am the angry
that I might learn
to appreciate peace.
I know I am the soft,
I need be
because I am the haughty
that I might be humbled.
I am stubborn that
you may teach me
to bend.
I am the fallen,
that your grace
may lift me up.
Lord, in your name
I am many
reaching as one
towards heaven.

But what I really want to be
most of all Lord

is the penitent
that I might be
forgiven.
prayer for the slowly dying #13

Tonight after I say goodnight

Lord I am a sinner
saved only by your grace.
You already knew that. So I guess
its me that
barely realizes that
the only way I will make it
to heaven, is if you take me,
one breath after your mercy
forgives...

I need your shelter
from this world, from myself.
Again tonight after I say goodnight
I send you my plea

Lord forgive me...
