I Walked By This World

Saying sorry to your daughter, the words seem empty never enough. I raised my voice I made her cry, a solitary tear trickled from her eye. In my weakness a red mist rises, and now a flow of weeping tears cascades. I have a go about her behaviour, yet it's me who has slipped up. I say a prayer asking forgiveness from my gentle loving saviour. I'm ashamed and to blame for a little girl hurt, I should have walked in gentleness instead I walked by this world. I asked her forgiveness and cuddles, and of course she forgave me, it's time I let go and let the lord truly lead me.
