Unworthy (Poem) – February 26, 2019
May your light always shine upon me Lord
That I may never know the darkness of my iniquity
May I always remember and redeem the gift
The life that you have given me, that I may
Give back to you my life in return
I pray that day that I am found worthy
If only to peer through the gates of paradise
To feel the warmth of your all consuming love
upon my face, falling upon my face to embrace
your blessed feet, and those of the saints
Those holy ones who have gone before me
And those who will follow me in my repose.
I pray that I am deemed worthy, if only
To hear the echo of your heavenly choir
I pray that I may be received at least
to hold the door for those most holy,
And higher than such a wretched sinner
as myself, most unworthy to receive you
and to be received by you, oh Lord.
