sorry poem

"one more chance"

  
I feel I have asked so much of you. 
I feel so much guilt in my heart, 
I don’t know what to say to you. 
I feel I have disturbed you more than 
anyone else. 
I feel like I have blown too many 
chances given to me. 
Have I struck when I shouldn’t strike?
Why is this happening to me Lord? 
With the killing weight of hardship in 
a survival dance with my heart, 
I came crawling on sore swollen knees 
asking for help and a chance to establish 
myself. 
I want to share your riches with the people 
you have given me. 
Lord give me another chance.
