I Struggle

I struggle to write the perfect essay

Searching for the words to say

Something that is not cliché

A platitude that might display

A little gratitude that I might pay

To you who showed me the way

I know that I can never repay

For what you did on that dreadful day.

To you my Lord I can’t say nay

For in my heart you must stay

Even with my feet of clay

You can help me not to stray

For this my Lord, I do pray

That I love thee in total agape

So to you Lord, I must defray

For it is you Lord, my Yahweh.

Amen.
