Joanna Daniel Poet Alliteration

Seventy Times Seven

Feeling forlorn at being fully forsaken by His Father
Christ was cruelly crucified by His own creation
Yet He forgot not to forgive their foolhardiness
And I am one of those impertinent idiots
My misdeeds too marred His majestic magnificence
Yet He forgot not to forgive my fearsome fallacies
When with firm faith I fixed my eyes on His face
A repentant heart rendered remission of my sins 
For He forgot not to forgive my flagrant failings
What more, I'm welcomed as a worthy worshipper now!
Cleansed in the fountain of His agape love, I cling to Him
For His forgiveness has finally freed my famished soul
How can I not forgive others for their faulty flaws?
My Saviour sovereignly said to forgive seventy times seven
And so I forget not to forgive my friends and 'foes' alike.

Anitha Jayasankar May 25, 2021 at 7:32 AM So beautiful Jo... Forgiving others, though not easy, is one of the most graceful qualities once we master the art of being patient... God bless... ~ Ani

Tom Cunningham May 25, 2021 at 3:43 AM Well written Jo as he's forgiven us we too should follow his example, we should never bear grudges. Good luck Tom

Alexis Y. May 24, 2021 at 11:37 PM WoW! Jo, Christ showed a moving example on the power of forgiveness. I like the message here; man was forgiven much. So we must do as the good book says, forgive seventy times seven. It looks like a winner to me. Best wishes in the contest:-) Alexis
