Forgiveness

by Bill Turner   Feb 16, 2006


A shadow passes before the sun
Darkness begins its ugly reign
I spent my life as the one
Causing others tremendous pain

Did I see too much?
Was it the suffering in my life?
Lack of compassion and a loving touch?
Why was I causing so much strife?

I could make a grand excuse
Wipe away my behavior
I was bull turned loose
An embarrassment to our savior

A year of tremendous pain
Darkness again finding my heart
Nights contemplating the explosion in my brain
Would it be the end or a new start?

I stand accountable for what I have done
Accepting whatever fate befalls me
Asking forgiveness from the one
Knowing my soul will forever run free

My savior did not forsake me in my time of need
Sending to me Angels cloaked as many a friend
They helped my pain listening to my heart bleed
Still around as my heart tries to mend

There is one who has a special place
Residing forever in my heart
I love the smile on her face
The life we plan, a new start

    First one of yours i've read i think.. really impressive, i love the moral feel you have in your writing. Trust and forgiveness are (like everyone else has reminded you.. lol) essential parts of any relationship, closest to everyones hearts, you've portrayed this so emotionally and excellent. Well written dude :)

    Another superb poem! Forgiveness is an important component in love (Of any kind), but so hard to obtain and give! A wonderfully written piece Bill :)
