Dear Lord (For Michael Torres)

Dear Lord I thank you for another day clean & free As you know Lord awhile back I received an email One that has troubled me now for months It contained an apology from another person An apology I know wasn’t easy for him to write One that was also very hard for me to read Lord you know how hard I battle with anger How much hate and anger once consumed and controlled my life How I struggle to keep myself balanced Lord you know that I know in my heart I must forgive him As I have been forgiven I know to hold these feelings in my heart Is a sin So many people have forgiven and accepted me into their hearts I owe this not only unto you But to all those who have forgiven me If I am not willing to forgive Then I do not deserve to be forgiven You know Lord I have to say The way you use Antoinette to point these things out And reason with me in a way that I must agree Makes you a cold piece of work And leaves me in a position Where all I can say Is Lord just as you have forgiven me I reckon Michael too shall be forgiven -------------------------------------------------------- This poem was written sometime back and it has been a heavy burden round my neck ever since. What I did I did for all the right reasons in my heart but it is apparent that Michael & Janice do love each other so who am I to Judge. Well anyhow I must do what I feel is right which is to forgive, God Bless, Mj Seems to fit Christies contest very well so I'll enter it in the contest.
