There is a sorrow deep inside of me, <br />That tugs at my heart and soul <br />It is regretting the missed opportunity <br />That ought to have been my spirit's goal. <br /> <br />How is it I did not see the Light? <br />Why did I not do what I planned? <br />It seems my soul chose only blight <br />As I planted my feet in only sand. <br /> <br />As I ponder and pray to you, O Lord <br />I am beginning to see it your way. <br />Keep me focused to your holy accord <br />Help me to mend and bend as you say. <br /> <br />I am yours, Lord, do with me what you will. <br /> <br />Teach me to acquiesce to your Holy Law; <br />O that I might always hear your call, <br />Never to ignore your pleading <br />You're always interceding <br />To the Father for me <br />Teach me to see <br />Thee in <br />me <br />That I mirror you <br />In all I say and do.<br /><br />Mel (Carmela) Patterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/acceptance-12/
