Praying Hands

I belong to a writers group called the Phoenix Writers. We meet once a month and share some of our writings. This month we were suppose to write about "hands" This is what I wrote.

Praying Hands

As he cast his eyes toward Heaven
He has clasped together his hands
Lord, he asked when my life is gone
Can I enter into your Heavenly lands

He knew he had been a awful sinner
Drinking, chasing women and such
Back in the days when he was young
He hadn't thought about it very much

Today he is much older and now wiser
He wonders why he had waited so long
Thinking as he approached the church
Tears fell hearing the choir sing a song

Today he confessed everything to God
He asked to be forgiven for all his sins
Feeling relief from all of these burdens
It's now his journey to Heaven begins
