It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
Leonardo da Vinci


God, today I shall change,
and approach my faith with a stronger need.
I know I'm not perfect, not in one single way,
But, still, you made me and proclaimed, “That's OK.”
I now profess my ever growing love,
I will try to make it last.
Even though some days it shall falter,
please keep in mind it's as fragile as glass.
I know I have checked people that I shouldn’t have checked.
I know my patience has bent over the years, yes it's far from erect.
I know that when I should have given kindness, there was hate.
I know if I was Eve, the apple I would have ate.
I am aware of all my sins,
All those lies that I have told and never cease to tell.
That sunk me into evils sinister, fiery well
I know I forgot you for so, so long,
my weaknesses were just so, so strong!
Please forgive my misdeeds
it was all against your moral creed;
and take my one last prayer, my one last cry,
and sing me to sleep with your forgiveness as my lullaby.

I wrote this to support all those who are struggling with their religion. I have always felt that if you have someone root you on, it gets alot easier.
