Sinful Thoughts
Sinful Thoughts
By Reem Alirhayim
I gazed upon the dark grey sky
Sound of the wind and my heartfelt cry
Awoke the memory of sorrow and grief
In a journey and time, when I dared to ration my relief
As I stood in silence underneath the rain
I closed my eyes and pictured moments I’d rather not explain
The sound of my heartbeat echoed through my ears
As I lingered through my mistakes in the early years
My limp body shivers to the sinful thoughts
Justifying wrong doings and searching for innocence at all costs
I despised myself, and laid in dust and ashes
How could I forgive myself when I see all these flashes?
But I seek the light and guidance through the words of God
To those words my heart listened silenced and awed
O Lord You are the All Forgiving and truly kind
I ask You to forgive me, how could I have been so blind?!
Now I know that what I’ve done is from the past
It’s time I change and make sure that was the last
Of my sins that I greatly regret and truly repent
O Lord forgive me for I truly love You……
