Sinner

Yesterday I lied
And told a man I couldn’t help him
When I could

Yesterday I sent the mission money
So that people could eat
People who can’t buy food

Yesterday I asked a patient how he felt
But he didn’t answer me
Because he couldn’t talk

Yesterday I learned
How to take a person to the very bottom
And then bring them back up

Yesterday I heard a song
And I cried a little listening
By myself in my car

Yesterday I hugged a friend
Who I haven’t seen
To let her know that I miss her

Yesterday I heard a rumor
And I told someone else
I perpetuated what I didn’t know for sure

Yesterday I sinned
But no more than any other day
But I’m sorry
