Ahh... Kneeling on God's own Earth to ask forgiveness.
'Tis then that He whispers and, if the heart is strong, does one hear.

Charles J. Ingerson: But to Ask
Photograph ©Copyright 2004 by Charles J. Ingerson

BUT TO ASK

seeking just to know
in making a choice
will this help me grow?

Each bended knee
expands the spirit oft
extending our plea
to the Father aloft.

Asking forgiveness
wanting to forget
feeling a loneliness
with each tear let.

But to ask gently
bowing in contrition
acknowledging tenderly
each small admission.
