BUTTERFLY BLUES

The summer wind in perfect

The flowers  are pink and merry

The grey asphalt reflects the warm golden sun

Flapping in joy

Pretty butterflies swarm the  road-ed sky !

Red, fast and reckless

Hurrying away to a  faraway land

The car speeds on !

As the two worlds collide

The butterflies dive  

The  wind shield shatters

As  traces of  colour and death  are left behind

The driver hums a tune

And the music plays on

Tell me Oh Lord

I may wash away the blood and colour!

But can You ever wash away the sin ? 

A SINNER'S PRAYER

Oh lord Merciful and Loving!

Savior of sinners like me!

Blessed is your glory and benevolence!

With sinful hands I have come to you

With sinful hands I surrender

Oh mighty father of forgiveness!

I prostrate before you, in guilt and shame!

As I finally surrender to your heavenly will

Please forgive and accept my humble repentance

I have stumbled again, though you have always guided me

I have strayed away, even when you showed me your way

 Yet your love for me has never changed

Oh lord! So merciful and Loving!

Show me the light of your will

Oh Lord! Creator of all that is created

As I surrender myself at your feet

Fill me with your Holy Spirit!

Fill me with your everlasting grace!
