PLEASE.....FORGIVE ME

by Suellen Fry  
1/23/2007 / Poetry

Today I asked someone for forgiveness
I do not think he heard me
For he turned the other way.

SoI gently repeated those difficult three words
Please forgive me.
He would not look me in the eyes
He still just looked the other way.

What if Jesus did the same
Every time we said "I'm sorry"
And bowed our heads in shame.

What if Jesus turned
And looked the other way.
What chance would we have
To heal
Or start over
Each and every day.

What if Jesus didn't hear our cries
And he pointed his finger in blame.
What chance would we have?
To start completely over
A chance to clear our name.


And while this person
Chose not to reply
To my request
Of asking for forgiveness
I know the Lord
He had my back
And chose not to turn away.

Thank-you Lord
For giving me a chance
By the blood you shed
You have given me a brand new day.
