Harlot No More

Folder: 
Personal (Hope)

I once was a harlot,

smeared with

the taint of lust.



But You wiped

the stains clean

with the blood

You spilled.



They mock me

saying I cannot

change.



I whisper

behind moist eyes,

“I was forgiven

before I ever sinned.”



When I looked for love

in the men of this world,

I passed by the One

who would sweep me off my feet.
