When I go and take my shower at night <br />there is much more that I wish to have washed off. <br />For during the day I tend to brush up against sin <br />Those sin's of another, who are in pain and lost. <br /> <br />This is my time for a Spiritual cleansing <br />In which I offer those sins up to God in prayer. <br />While soaping up and scrubbing my skin <br />And shampooing off, dirt caught in my hair. <br /> <br />As I let the waters rinse over me <br />I envision those who I feel are in need of prayer. <br />And let my Lord God know <br />That someone for their sins does care. <br /> <br />Then when my shower is over <br />I feel more than soap and water clean. <br />But now have a deeper cleansing of time just spent <br />In my shower filled with soap, prayer, water and steam.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spiritual-cleansing/
