Edward Ibeh Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Father Forgive Them

merciful father,
forgive transgressions
of all those who don't
know any better;
wash away their sins

like you do mine,
and help them see
the error of...
their ways, oh Lord

free them from
the clutches
of Satan

father
forgive

them

Tom Cunningham May 19, 2021 at 8:01 AM A beautiful prayer Edward, forgiving those who commit atrocities is so hard to do but who are we but sinners ourselves. I always remember that saying from the bible when Jesus said " let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Hope you're well. Tom Edward Ibeh May 19, 2021 at 11:38 AM I love that verse from the bible. Thank you very much for the wonderful feedback and visit, Tom:-) Have a blessed day, my friend!
