Use the words "my sin beyond" in a piece of writing
(posted by Devereaux and Beth)


My sins are
beyond belief.
Grief I have
suffered.  Grief
I have caused.
My youth seems
implausible
to me now.  Was
my definition
of sin different
in my youth?  Mom
once had a perfume
called My Sin.  Must
have been wicked.
