Forgive Us Both, Our Trespasses

If we till death in silence stay,
pray know these words I wish to say

I loved you once, for all that came,
should time be turned, I'd do the same

For all the pain and sadness shared,
for all those years, I truly cared

My wish for you tis to freely live,
my hope for us, is to forgive

I trust that we can both accept,
these thoughts of healing and respect

For what we gave, not what we lost,
for what came first, not what it cost

My heart then, does this branch extend,
it's simply this; to be my friend
