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. 02/08/20 Third Place Reference 'To err is human; to forgive, divine.' Alexander Pope. 'The Famous Poetic Lines 2' Contest by Silent One.
