Consequences

by Janet Foor



No comfort for my tired and broken heart
As tears flow down across this wrinkled face
A failure not forgiven from the start
Compassion passes by without a trace.

Long years of unforgiveness for my sin
No kindness to be shown the likes of me
I'm seeking trust I know I cannot win
I'm lost upon this deep and brackish sea.

Yet, life's not over till I've breathed my last
Reflecting shameful sins I still recall
There's time for introspection unsurpassed
To pray for peace and mercy meant for all.

My brokenness released into the light.
On wings of His forgiveness, I'll take flight.
