Again and Again

I can unsqueak a squeaky door,
I can make a great meal from scratch,
And not from a can.
And I can replace a broken ceiling fan,
But the one thing I can’t mend,
Are the broken promises I made,
Again, and again and again.

Forgiveness is an amazing thing. I forgave you so long ago and it set me free. Forgive yourself. You have done more time in your mind then equals your crime. Are we not supposed to learn from our mistakes and move on. Clinging to the past heals and helps no one.

I can’t expect forgiveness as I made a mess of many people’s lives. My ego got in the way of giving guidance to the most precious people I fathered.
