'Weeds Of Sin' Poem by Linda Winchell

'Weeds Of Sin'

Rating: 4.2


Everyday I try to pull a little more
Of those weeds that pop up in my life.
Not knowing how they all got there
It seems… of endless dredge and strife.

Their roots go deep and hold on tight
Deep beneath… the soil of my skin.
Even though some have flowers disguise
They are still… my weeds of sin.

No matter how I try to kill them myself
They keep on coming back.
Until I go to God in prayer for forgiveness
And ask Him to give them all a whack!

Excellent metaphor, weeds compared to sins, so long as small sins are committed, which hardly have impact on self and others we can go for pardon and ask for forgiveness they are indeed like weeds, they keep growing for our unwanted desires, needs and competitions....You have addressed this issue well with partial solution.10++++ Congrats for POTD honours.

Not knowing how they all got there They are still… my weeds of sin. Being human means we have to live with certain imperfections or weaknesses or 'weeds of sins'. You have nicely dealt with the subject and asked for divine help to root out these 'sins'. Thanks & Congrats, Linda.
