Forgiveness

The roads which I have travelled and the turns I choose to make were of my own making my choices for to make Perhaps at times they may not have been the shrewdest or clear sighted and oft times they brought consequences somewhat uninvited For errors I've made I've begged forgiveness many many times and in my way I've tried to pay the penance of the fines Lessons which I learned from life often came too late and mistakes I made are difficult to clean from off the slate There are those who never will forgive a slip made in the past and those who should be wary the first stone for to cast The good and bad decisions which salt and pepper my trek are mine to wear forever as a millstone round my neck Forgiveness for my flaws and falls is all I ask of you so that I may then forgive myself for all the wrongs I rue
