Father please forgive me
for I have gotten away
from the promise that I
had made to you, one day
I ran so far, so fast
from where I'd first begun
Now I cry out to you, a
broken, prodigal son
I squandered all my riches
and still, no peace have I
I have reached the end of
the rope and feel I want to die
Help me, Lord, restore in
me, the peace inside my heart
Take my life and lead me
and may we never part
For I have seen that my life
is meaningless without you
For in good or bad times
you have always seen me through
So, I offer me, as a living
sacrifice, asking to be made anew
Mold me into what you desire,
as I promise to follow you...
...Amen

Love it!
Well done. Rather like a response to the parable and a prayer combined! Best of luck in the contest. -
A living sacrifice, that I never wish to see, but to be reborn into anew, as metaphor I can see. This is poem that warms the heart as it confesses the wrongs and finding the soul lost in money, found spiritually again. It's these kinds of poems that I think about, of what brings family together tightly knit, emanating an aura of joy.
There's nothing that I wish to change in this, since this is a personal prayer made with one's soul, body, and mind. And thank you for sharing this poem, as it has brought a crescent smile upon my face
Good luck with the contest, and may your faith be everlasting~
