An Anxious Sinner's Prayer Poem by Michael Esdaile Walker

And one only knows they say, the value of the sun
By crawling over a sea of darkness, very like one
Broken on the wheel who sees then Divine light
Yes, yes my friend of friends, you know beyond the waste and blight
That I call my life so long, seed releases happiness and hope
Opening hands once clenched, now sing praise beyond the slope
Which the poet called enchanted, for it is so that you are
New and young yet old and wise shining and my guiding star
Such promise graces the scarred and marred and sinful me.
Eternity may be so you know, grace given and grace free
Never ending never changing, God then and God here
Dominion never ending. 'Let it be so' 'amen' this sinner's prayer.
