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.
