All

All
~~~
Who I was is not who I am
But mostly thanks to you
The past is just that 
You were forgiven, so forgive yourself
Stop looking back, and downward in shame
You're just like me, no better or worse
We are flawed creation 
Our salvation lies in that knowledge
Hindsight is useful, only if heeded
I wish I could do more 
But all I can tell you is to pray 
And do your very best.
