Tahera Mannan Poet Kyrielle

Forgiveness

The silent footfalls of the long lost son
Came up the dim pathway on a run
Longing and shame in every vein
To err is human to forgive divine

Down the road the teenager wailed
For her P-test had failed
It showed the extra line
To err is human to forgive divine

Human nature falls to temptation
And later in need for redemption
Always waiting for the holy sign
To err is human to forgive divine

Deb Radke January 11, 2011 at 10:40 AM Oh Tahera. This is lovely. To start with the story of the prodigal son and come into the present with your second verse. And bring it all together with the third. This is what poetry should be. Very good. Congratulations on your winning placement in the contest. Most excellent writing. Best wishes, Deb

Carolyn Devonshire December 7, 2010 at 11:44 PM None of us are perfect, Tahera. We can only do what we can to make reparations when we err. Surely God will forgive the teenager; let's all emulate His kindness. Well said! Wishing you success in the contest, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
