A sinner's prayer

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned,
I honestly do not know where to begin
I was consumed by greed and lust
I wanted to get everything with minimum fuss
Despite their pleas,I ignored my loved ones
i indulged and devoted myself to mindless fun
I treated my family with contempt and sneers
I even reduced my sweet child to tears
I was single minded in my goal and ambition
Money gave me the most satisfaction
But now here I am desolate and broken down
Without a soul to call my own
I have lost everything and gained nothing
Amid all this gloom, there came something
An angel flew down and comforted me
He opened his mighty wings and embraced me
"God loves you very much" he told me
"Even after what I have done?" I asked fearfully
The angel looked at me with great wisdom
"There shall be no greater joy than when the prodigal son comes home"
