Can You Forgive Me

Forgive all my attempts To make you a magician Coming to you in dozens of time Like a musician and an artisan At times like a comedian. A true art of chameleon in religion clothing Approaching you only for assistance Never making a remittance but always giving you the remnant Even on that i failed to ruminate But act like a ruminant I used every instrument of the mathematician (that on tithe) Neglecting all your epistles to the Corinthians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians. Especially, the one to the Thessalonians. I omitted the acts of the Apostles I did not take after the act of Joseph of Arimathea. These portray the true heart of a politician and not a Christian. Forgiveness is a decision Forgive and forget Is a household song How do i deal with the incisions? To be safe from infections and perversions That leads to perdition without neglecting my friends affection and persuasion That is the nub of this notion Only by your injunctions and inscriptions It may be by information for reformation I can make the right corrections I must reach perfection O Lord can you still forgive me?

Fine prayer. The Lord God always forgive us our sins, nomatter the degree of the sin. Jesus has paid for all our sins. Fasoyo, stopping to read your works this evening is a blessing. I love your work. Thanks for your comment on my poem- WAR. It will end when we all love ourselves and totally remove ' I' from our dreams and replaced it with we, you, us. God will help us to love ourselves. Pastor Emmanuel.

Asking for forgiveness is such a cleansing thing to do; and recognizing our weaknesses is so important also. You've written a beautiful poem Fisayo and I want to thank you for your sweet visit recently. Love, Elizabeth
