A New Dawn

I am just now coming back to writing poetry and this one like all my poems is based upon my own life and journeys. Mostly my resolve to begin again and get back to the basics.

Since this Poet's pen first touched paper

it became dedicated to Love,

But Alas this pen did not stay to the paper

Of Our love oh Lord,

It, I, have wandered far into temptation,

as poems before this attest to.

  Am I clean of this sin?

No, it haunts me everyday when I fall into it

But I have learned my limits and my strengths,

All of which derive and relie on You.

I was a fool to call myself a poet,

I had not even lived or tried to at the beginning.

Now several years after the previous musings

I know what I am.

I am a Criminal in your Church,

A Sinner, who even though he tries so hard,

Continues to break the laws and love of Your Heart.

Purge me Blessed Lord,

Purge me so that I can be worthy to 

be a Priest of Your Most Holy Heart.

I must hold vigilance against temptations

in THE NAME OF OUR LOVE!

Help this hopeless goofy and foolish criminal

commit himself to You;

To Your Sacred Word,

    Your Cross,

    Your People.

And use the faculties blessed upon me,

a criminal, to aid in the love and joy of Your

Darling Children.

I Love You, Oh Lord

May this be;

Our New Dawn.

Author's Note

please ignore the grammar issues, I am not very good at it plus it help to drive the force of what I have written to myself. What are your thoughts?
