Everyday Pilgrimage
I wrote this poem a few years ago during Lent, considering the
pilgrimage I am on right now...I believe it fits. I hope it blesses you. - Jay
Everyday Pilgrimage
I bow my head in reverence,
not in shame.
I kneel humbly in homage,
not in fear.
What I give up in surrender
is small.
What I gain in surrender
is without measure.
Repentance sorrow is
met with mercy.
A heavy heart is caressed
with hope.
More than need or want,
is the desire for redemption
That makes an everyday pilgrimage
real in my heart.
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
