John Puckett Poet Blank verse

But

BUT

If you, Lord, recorded
Everything I’ve done wrong
The list would be certainly
Terribly long.
Your word says just that
So there seems little hope
Until the word, ‘BUT’.

A little word—BUT.
And at once, the scene changes
Abrupt.
BUT there is forgiveness,
There is forgiveness,
With You, dear Lord,
BUT there is forgiveness
With You
There is forgiveness 
With You!
 
Read Psalm 130.
