Excuses

Now that Christmas is all over and the new year has begun, We look back upon the old one, wondering what we could have done To have made it better and to have brought a lasting peace. If we had truly loved each other we might have found the way to cease All the wars and all the mayhem that have plagued our weary world. We long to walk this Earth in safety with our flag of peace unfurled. Two thousand years ago You answered with your gift from up above. In our willful disobedience, we destroyed our “Perfect Love”. Excuses? Lord, we have none, for it is a dreadful fact We destroyed Perfect Solution with rebellious, hideous act.

Response to your comment: Happy in my dreams but live on memories...how I miss that man of mine.... thanks for your comment on my poem. It is hard to find a particular poet when you want to on the Soup. As for your poem here: I have to agree, Excuses, we have them, but nothing worthy. Perfect love seems a far fetched idea these days, but wouldn't it be lovely to live in a world with perfect love. Enjoyed your poem.
