Forgive Me
by Cindee Snider Re Forgive me! I've been wrong, Made assumptions, Guessed incorrectly At emotions, Motives. Old scars crack, Spread, Seep up through Years of new memories Butterfly feet of forgotten pain Perched in shadowy corners Of the soul, Sticky tendrils Clinging close, Unnoticed, Nearly grafted to the skin. Yet there Is where I choose to be, To listen, To hear, To find the words When they are few. There In the quiet, In the dark, Where illness haunts And loneliness taunts And pain rises from the mist, There Is where I learn To lay down my life For another, For you, Where sacrifice bleeds, Costing deep, And contentment waits, And purpose unfurls in the Light of the Son, For there in the midst and messiness of life Is God. Cindee Snider Re lives in Sussex, WI with her husband, their five children, two cats, and two Shichon puppies. She enjoys quiet evenings, long walks, good books, homeschooling her kids, and lots of good, strong, hot, black tea.
