Father, I Plead : A Christian Freewrite Poem.

in #esteem5 years ago (edited)

Despites all scheme and plea to stop
He still opened his window to pray
Facing the east, bow to his God
To his prayers, the heavens give way.

And here I am, I stay
A little word of correction, get angry, go
The priest would beg me night and day
With Church things, I seem not to flow.
...
...
Tired of it all, I knelt down
Father, remove this pride gown
That I might do your work with a broken heart
And go with the rapture at last.
...
...
In tears I plead, Help me
Can't ever continue like this
Works of the flesh, myself, my pride
Let it die, that I might become the bride.
...
...
Only your Love in my soul
As I, like Daniel open this window
To pray, to seek thine Holy Face
Properly kick-start my heavenly race.
...
...
Abba Father, help of the helpless
With your gifts I've been careless
Wasted all on Delilah's lap, now penniless
Please, I plead, restore me to your fullness.

Sort:  

The prayer of a downcast.
God will not despise her.
Beautiful in the deepest.
