The Penitent

Not so hard to repent
    Don't mind if I do
  for the fabric I've rent
    in my relationship with you

  I'm so sorry, please forgive me
    I'll never hurt you again
  How's that? ... Mere words, you say
    Just so ~ A woman who understands men

I've taught my boys all they need to know about a happy marriage..."You're right dear and it will never happen again".

For 'Ball and Chain,' please cross-reference 'Prison,' 'Jail,' 'Marriage,' Chain Gang,' lol.

Have you ever listened to the song, "Nothing Between Us But Love Anymore"? It is by the Oakridge Boys. Women forgive but they have loooooong memories. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara

There is great nobility in asking forgiveness. No one is perfect. Everyone can err. But a penitent is less likely to repeat his mistakes ! Well done dear friend.

Right. Everyone makes mistakes. But we can try not to repeat mistakes... Let's make new mistakes! ~ Truth in Laughter, Gershon
