Prayer
Oh, univ’rse vast, hear my plea,
A humble prayer I send to thee.
Flaws and stumbles, mistakes made,
In your forgiving light, let them fade.
In moments galore, faltered I, true,
Lost my way, strayed from what I knew.
Hurts caused, tears shed,
May I ask for forgiveness, for stead.
The tapestry of life, woven with fragile thread,
Blurring right and wrong, where I've tread.
In lessons learned and bridges burn’d,
May grace be given, in your wisdom earn’d.
Grant me strength to mend and heal,
To seek renewal, to truly feel.
May forgiveness flow like a cleansing stream,
Washing away remorse, as in a dream.
Guide my steps with a forgiving hand,
Help me rise, to firmly stand.
From flaws and failings, I now break free,
A better self, I aspire to be.
