prayer asking God to spare our children from harm or retribution.
Retribution is not my dog
No bone- no contrition
just another child
who does not listen
nor pay attention.
Karma please let um slide
I really ain't mad ...
life has beat um down enough
please Karma let um slide.
Karma, excuse my soft heart.
Retribution ain't always worth
the worry that it causes.
Forgive my spiteful child.
May a mother's mind intercede?
Spare them the painful warts.
I love them enough to ask this of you
when they hurt I hurt too,
there is no win, win situation.
Just more reaping of the whirl wind
Let that negativity
that they have set in motion
be tossed into the mighty sea.
Let the salt of forgiveness wash,
and toss away their lies and thievery.
Karma please, on my knees
I pray forgive them all.
Spare all who have trust-passed
against my good-kind deeds.
Because I love them anyway.
and "retribution is not my dog"
