Sinner to Saint

Sin, brings temporary joy.

Forever with us, it toys.

~

Sin, you giggle, tote, do really bad things. 

Forever with us, in our souls it sings. 

~

“Come to me.” The siren duth sing. 

“Come to me. Your soul to me, bring.”

~

Manifest the flesh. 

Never! Never receive any rest. 

~

Born into sin. Die in sin. 

However, a peace can fill-in.

~

Grace is free.

Fill your soul with glee.

~

Be washed in the blood of the lamb. 

Open heavens dam.

~

Angels sing in a heavenly chorus.

As the light of heaven penetrates our souls, porous.

~

Soaking up the light of love. 

Given freely to us from above. 

~

Sin, around each corner. Under each rock. 

Doesn’t wait at the door to knock. 

~

Sin, hangs around your neck like a millstone. 

Badges of shame, picking at your bones. 

~

Shame, society will not let die. 

Shame, we cannot hide. 

~

God’s got your back.

He gave us the ultimate life hack. 

~

All we must do is ask.

For the holy Trinity, this is their task.

~

Fill you with the love of Christ.

Sin, your soul, is always looking to heist. 

~

Let your past live in the past. 

Give your future to Jesus, fast. 

~

Don’t let sin define your life. 

Let go of the chains of strife. 

~

We have all done bad things. 

Jesus was the only perfect person to walk this fragile earth with no sin strings. 

~

He has the power to forgive your sins. 

Bring him your past, your soul he can mend. 

~

It’s a difficult path; a God filled future.

Do the work, your soul it will suture.

The writing prompt was a quote from *Oscar Wilde, “Every Saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.”

Not a big fan of Oscar Wilde, so working with this prompt put me in different territory. However, there is another quote of his I like; “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”
