Forgive Thy Self
Fraught with vivid memories, still somehow unexplained,
I find myself searching for someone else to blame.
This grief that engulfs me, grows from day to day.
My own forgiveness has eluded me, and I have lost my way.
Then suddenly a distant light appears before my eye's.
and the darkness that had shrouded me, dissipates and hides.
As the moment seizes me, I begin to realize.
When I wasn't praying, God could hear me cry.
When you lose someone you love and guilt has settled in,
darkness tries to swallow you, but forgiveness always wins.
To my beloved Son Trevor.
The flesh is only fleeting, but heaven is forever.
