One mistake, a big mistake

That I committed one day.

Makes me anxious even today

And I can’t find my way.

I ask God at night,

“What should I do?”

His answer confuses me,

Keeps me up until two.

I think and repent

What I’ve done.

Why did it happen?

And mostly if I'll ever overcome?

It took one wrong step

To ruin my life.

This thought hurts me

Like wounding with a knife.

I fear to face that trouble,

And I spend time crying.

Oh, God! Give me courage

To face and succeed in the trying.
