Forgive me.
I have used my words
As torpedoes, to blow apart,
Because no one reads them
And I had murder in my heart,
But I am just as much to blame.
Forgive them, forgive me,
And sponge away the malice
I sowed as poisoned seeds.
Bring healing, bring hope,
Bring restoration.
Weave Your beauty with the threads
Of our failures and limitations
Like You always do.
Forgive us all.
We stand equally condemned
Of not being enough like You
To love in kind, in time, to defend,
Let Your sacrifice defend us all.
Forgive me. Over my plantings
Sow love, whose roots
Grow stronger through hate’s
And strangle its fruit.
Sow love,
Before my failures bear fruit.
