On Purification

As I grow older
I become wiser
But also more crooked

Experiences are lessons
That help us learn
But also, sometimes taint our soul

Through God’s love
Through God’s mercy
And through His grace
I pray, I repent

For the purification of my soul
And my heart
I pray

To be cleansed
To be shown the way
To be pure
Just like when I was a child

To be grateful
To be loving
To be able to love everybody
And to be able to love myself
