Notes About The Poem

A Gift To Give

A Gift to Give

forgiveness divine
God’s great gift of grace that’s mine
from now for all time

apologies due
address errors past from you
I accept as true

God’s love lives in all
And when mercy does befall
sins are not recalled

very well done for rhyming senryu, Janis! It seems poets are doing sets of three. I guess I should try for that too!
