I’m No Screwup

As summer comes to an end

Autumn draws nearer and nearer

I wake up today with breath in my body

My heart beats it's beat in my chest,

And I lift my head towards the open blue sky

I cry out to God praising His name

Thanking Him for allowing me live another day

But I bow my head low

Knowing that I've screwed up and I'm filled with many flaws

He looked down and said to me 'My child, your sins have been forgiven

Take this hand of mine and I shall lift you above this abyss

Of despair and hopelessness.

I'll never forsake you or leave your side.

So have hope and don't fall into despair.'

As the days go by

From summer to fall

Fall to winter

Where the days grow colder and longer

And the earth is covered in white

I'll wake up each day

With breath in my body

And a beating heart

I've screwed up too many times to count

But I am not a failure or a mistake

I am a child of God and He calls me His own.
