Forty days has Lent each year, <br />For the soul to God endear; <br />Confess sins to God to hear; <br />Live a life pure without fear! <br /> <br />Prayer is key primary; <br />Fasting cleanses mind, body; <br />One does good deeds, charity; <br />Heart gets grace and purity. <br /> <br />Time to introspect divine; <br />Reconcile with Christ, the Vine; <br />Let remorse make heart to pine <br />For repentance that turns life fine. <br /> <br />Like Jesus, let's fight devil; <br />Let us do no more evil; <br />Lent can heal the soul that's ill; <br />We must take heaven's road well! <br /> <br />Lent is gift of God that's lent, <br />And for deeds goods is just meant; <br />Soul must turn sinless and bent <br />Erasing stain and all dent! <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 25-02-2012<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lenten-season-2/
