To Err
TO ERR
To err is human; to forgive, divine.
No doubt, no argument, perfectly fine.
So far, the act is really mistake
My conscience, sympathy will not break.
If err touches crime, I cannot ignore
I will be cruel, never to endure.
Greatness of forgiveness to sweep away
Punishment is the answer. No way.
To err is human; to forgive divine.
provided mistakes subject to define.
Doing harm or hurting or to assault
is not a mistake but genuine fault.
