HINE SIGHT

Just as dew forms on a blade of grass

Staring off in the distance vision blurry

Lived my whole life in a hurry

If at heaven’s gate, would I pass

Nearing the end of this class

Recalling all the opportunities I once had

Hine sight confirms I am a fool

It’s clear that I didn’t use one tool

Now I am scared when I should be mad

I have failed and most days are spent being sad

I can’t figure out why I exist

Constantly taking more than I would give

So many times, I wish I didn’t live

I chose paths that most others would resist

Not using my words, mostly using my fist

Nearing the end feeling like a willow tree

Weeping early in the morning covered in dew

Slowly accepting that I was lacking a clue

Imprisoned by my own mind, I will never be free

I lived this life without the ability to see

Dear Lord is it possible to forgive me

Knowing all I have done

I haven’t even acknowledged that Jesus is your son

Hine sight makes it clear, and I plea

Please forgive me of my sins, allow me to be free
