This Time Around…

I strayed and forgot
My purpose in life;
But oh dear God,
I am willing to try;
And find that light
Which’s eluded my sight;
To gain your pleasure-
A place in your castle high.

This time I will strive
With every bone in my might;
Strain my eyes,
For a hint of the light;
Find my path and
Gloriously stride;
Thwart the thorns,
Keeping my eyes on the prize-
A place In your castle high
