Your Vessel

I have spent my life wrestling
With angels for blessings.
And arguing with God
Over mere window dressings.

I have spent my life seeing
Through eyes that are blinded;
Won’t look into eyes
Filled with painful reminders.

I have spent my life led by
My own selfish wants;
Never once raised a thought
To the world’s fears and haunts.

Forgive me Lord for the wasted years,
For so many missed opportunities.
I yield to You every part of me.
Let me help you to dry their tears.
