I enjoyed this one. It put me in the moment. I like this line...."The hair on my arms seem to stand up on end,"

Go for it! It's always fun reading someone else's mail. :cool:

I see this poem as a snapshot, and a good one, of a serious sin problem that many of us struggle with. I think if you were to develop this into a large piece then thee would be room to add encouraging thoughts.
