Trying

Trying
Trying to imagine
What the last chapter holds.
I can’t be too trusting
On me.
Every confidence
I place in the palms
Of the one who holds life.
Sure He can keep mine,
With the good buried
Beneath this chapter;
So behind I won’t remain,
But over,
And ahead.
Trying to confess
Those deadly, dangerous, deep deeds.
To the one who holds love,
Forgiveness.
Sure He knows it all;
But i’ll try anyways.
At the least,
I will be free.
Trying to have
That heart communion
With the one who made mind;
Heart and soul.
Trying to sign out
Of the web of death-
Www.hell.com.
It’s just me trying
To do things right.
Grace can make it easier:
Yes, I know.
Then I can do better
Than trying.
