Thief on the Cross

I am the thief 

on the Cross

I was wrong...

Dead wrong

for all my life

About winning

About losing

And everything in between 

I remember I did not help my neighbor

I remember I did not help my brother

Nor did I help my own crying mother

I remember I did not pray for my enemy

I remember I did not pray for my wife

I remember I left my children uncared for

I did not trust

I did not believe

I did not Love

I was hurried

I was judgmental

I was unkind

And I stole

And I cheated

Lied to myself

And to my God

And at the end

of these lonely

Hours, Here I am

With life in my

Rearview, ugly

But in rearview

And I know

Where I'm going

I'm going Where

Belief is Here

I am the thief

On the Cross
