FORGIVENESS
by Paul Curtis I find it hard to forgive But we are taught we must To be a good Christian We must first forgive others Before God can forgive us But I find it hard to forgive I cannot let go the bitterness Or it's associated baggage The betrayal of those I thought friends The deceit of family The put downs and the knocks The adversities and animosities I cannot make that commitment to forgive All I can do is promise to try Try to climb that ladder of forgiveness One painful rung at a time And if I do succeed In becoming a better person A more forgiving person If I manage to slowly climb the ladder And earn Gods forgiveness I will only do so with His grace And not by some great effort on my part I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
