Array ( [sid] => 83745 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Ashes [time] => 2005-02-09 21:57:04 [hometext] => My first attempt at some religious poetry, and though not my best work, one of my favorites. This is written for Ash Wednesday. [bodytext] => A symbol on my forehead
A prayer within my heart
A sign for all the sheep He led
A place for Lent to start

You wore a crown of thorns for me
And I, a cross for you
You died to let my soul be free
And through my faith in you, it grew

From dust we were created
From the very earth we came
To the Fall we were fated
Paradise is ours to reclaim

These ashes on my forehead
Cleanse me, who was flawed
And tell you, who for me was bled,
How much I love you, God. [comments] => 8 [counter] => 305 [topic] => 11 [informant] => yellow_sundragon [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )

A sign for all the sheep He led
A place for Lent to start

You wore a crown of thorns for me
And I, a cross for you
You died to let my soul be free
And through my faith in you, it grew

From dust we were created
From the very earth we came
To the Fall we were fated
Paradise is ours to reclaim

These ashes on my forehead
Cleanse me, who was flawed
And tell you, who for me was bled,
How much I love you, God.
