Forgiven

Falling like a silver star Driven by love like red car Slipping on the icy blue part For you screw up breaking heart Wondering should I go far Pondering never have been apart Outside I’m fine inside a scar Blowing my mind this love bizarre You try to fix it with a card Confetti kisses flowers in part Picnic time in summer at park My heart thunders my mind sharp Remember our first piece of art Playing our genes like a harp Birthing our dreams that did start With children green esteemed sweetheart With pros and cons on a cream chart I decide to choose not to throw darts To not hurt you like you hurt my heart Love is true for it we all starve Forgiven this day my love you are.

Thanks for reading Regina and yes we are all forgiven and wiped clean by the blood of Jesus. The challenge is to forgive others we may want to condemn. God bless you as well!
