Poem of a Sinner

by Tamala Nicole Walton (at age 17)

I'm going to pray to you

Just not right now

I would praise you

but I don't know how

I could talk about you

but what would I say

I would follow you

but are you sure you know the way

Lord, I would fight for you

but you have more power than I

I would sing for you but I can't

so I won't try

I would write a poem about you

but I don't know how to rhymn

I would stop and thank you

but I just don't have time

O, Lord, forgive me

for what I have done wrong

You should've and could've thrown me away

to hell where I belonged

But unlike, us you never

make a mistake or sin

So why don't I go

and try this again ...

I'm going to pray to you

As a matter of fact, right now

I'm going to praise you

because I now know how

I'm going to talk about you

because you've given me the words to say

I'm going to follow you

because you know the way ...
