Kenneth Cheney Poet Couplet

Forgiven

Born of the human race;
Having fallen from grace;

We have committed sin.
Before our life begins.

Cruel concept some say;
Adam’s guilt was conveyed;

Matters not in the end;
Calvary’s cross did mend;

We have been forgiven.
For forever living;

Simply except the gift;
Healing histories rift;

Now as you shall forgive;
You shall be forgiven.

Gershon Wolf May 28, 2021 at 12:16 PM That last couplet is the key, methinks. In the Yiddish language, they say, 'Ha-mochel nimchal,' 'The one who forgives is forgiven.' Wonderful, wise write, Kenneth. Thanks, gw
