sins are many
as stars of sky
as sand of shore

but I know for sure
Your Gate of Mercy
is much bigger, wider

I pray to You
as I was told to be
slowly, humbly, quietly

if You refuse me
who might be
bless me

if good persons
who can pray to You
to whom bad ones beg

I have nothing
just a last prayer
to ask for Your shelter
