Please Forgive Me.

Please forgive me when i put grammar lessons to shame, i beg you to hear only
the content of my sincere heart.

Please forgive me if I somehow remind you of Qua-z-moto, just become my 
Ismarelda.

Please forgive me if i am not weaken or intimidated when i know not what you
deem I should know.

Please forgive me if my ancestrial-tree has been ripped from its very fabric.  I do 
have a reason for such a hideous happening.

Please forgive me if i love my beloveth Jesus and find no shame in such 
confession.  It was only He who has brought me to thee.

Please forgive me if my ski-pigmentation should cause you to be hesitant to 
love every fiber of my being.

Last, but not lease.  Please forgive me if i love you so intensely and thrist to be
loved by you equally, but realizing you differ from i, but unable to really know   
unless you actually told me so.  you see all my life I believe whatever you tell me 
and still exist that sameway.  Please forgive me for just being me.
