Heaven kissed me awake
the day my sinning self
broke through enough to
expose truth I did not want to see,
or know, or show
about my self-serving ways.
Wrapped tight in a thick
cocoon of nice
there had been no need
—no desperate I-will-die-without-help need—
to carry me to You.
Heaven, kiss me again today, I pray,
with Your awakening, saving grace.
Thank you!
