You didn't listen to what she had to say
Now you understand why she went away
In your heart you long to have her back
It's not too late you will see that day
You did not recognize that you had a gift
It was sadness that caused your mind to shift
Call out and ask for her forgiveness
It will give both of your spirits a lift
She is longing to feel your warm embrace
You will see joy written on her face
She wants to be your priority
Now she knows this really is the case
Trying out a new form

Night grows silent, nary a sound
The best time to write, I have found,
to compose poetic impressions.
Pages in leather tomes, they're bound.
Lines of repentant expressions,
attesting to indiscretions
and the sorrow they did impart.
Each verse filled with my confessions.
Nib of my pen hurled as a dart
at its target, my wounded heart.
With self-inflicted pain it bleeds
Torn into pieces, ripped apart.
Repentant for the loathsome deeds,
the temptation of fleshly needs.
I beg forgiveness for my sin.
My poetry sorely concedes.
There is no other grief akin
to the ache I feel deep within.
If there's a way to right my wrong,
please tell me. How do I begin?

Forgiveness of wondrous melodious bliss
Invite us gladly from loving heart’s abyss
Sweetly ringing amidst jubilant chime
Inviting gladly every Brod and Sis.
Forgiving* spirit for worship sublime
Reverberates hope along pardon rhyme
As praises to God divinely prevail
Toward triumphant propelling faith-climb.
Forgiveness in our homes should never fail
To echo members’ care that love does hail
Along family laughter filled with cheer
Vanquishing abandonment’s grievous wail.
Showing forgiveness of grace must be clear
With vibrant compassion-tunes, smiting fear
Such will linger on midst fellowship’s crest
Each recipient regards as indeed dear.
Forgiveness' granting is verily blest
Always giving chances to all the rest
Let’s be kind, so genuine joy we can't miss
The Lord’s perfect will which is always best.
*Ephesians 4:32 - And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

God’s favour--- such is appreciation’s best
Indeed my heart’s desire*, making me blest
Earnest midst joy, filled with compassion’s glow
Marked by forgiveness of confessed guilt-pest.
The Lord’s approval conquers every woe
Since it presses me for my faith to grow
Cheering toward triumphant reaching-out
While sharing His love along peaceful flow.
Inspired to pursue ministerial route
With fellowship of appreciation-shout
Keeps me radiating a vibrant face
Vanquishing doubt, and overcoming pout.
With commendation I receive by grace
My soul exclaims thanksgiving in life’s race
Exhorting others to walk in the light
Marked by kindness upon compassion’s brace.
Cherishing victory in prayer-plight
My spirit praises the Saviour so right
For He has lifted me up from pain’s test…
Now, I express appreciation delight.
*Psalms 37:4 - Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

“Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” 1Timothy 1:17 of the King James Bible
Forever, the Lord reigns in His glory
Prevailing over pain midst victory
While offering eternal life so dear
Saving us from everlasting fury.
Forever, Christ assures His presence near
Drawing us nigh toward heavenly cheer
As trust He strengthens, smiting fear's worst crease
Meeting needs even beyond prayer sphere.
Forever, the Holy Spirit brings peace
Midst mercy and comfort that will not cease
Assuring believers His faithful light
Since divine Word propels faith to increase.
Forever, God’s light keeps on glowing bright
Never goes undimmed against sin-filled blight
Illumining with truth of wisdom state
For freedom to do what’s serenely right.
Forever, the Saviour’s love remains great
Granting blest forgiveness that conquers hate
Ready to shower grace with blest dowry
Enriching hearts for kindness-driven rate.

"... The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible
Christmas shows compassion in action's best
Exemplified by God midst loving zest
Reaching down to us, offering great gift
Grant of eternal life, wondrously blest.
Christmas radiates hope with vibrant cheer
Since the Saviour* brought us redemption dear
As sweet Baby bearing Emmanuel's name
Assuring Almighty's presence so near.
Christmas reverberates serene joy-shout
Of angels' choir "peace on earth" without doubt
Echoing good will that rings kindness' chime
Silencing chaotic pain, smiting pout.
Christmas magnifies divine grace for all
Multiplying freely yon sharing call
To conquer covetous acts of greed's gain
Uplifting soul from selfishness' down fall.
Christmas prevails along gratitude glow
Marked by caring deeds of forgiveness-flow
While giving and thanksgiving spirit reigns
Now, tomorrow, and all days that follow.
Such essence drives Christmas poetry-bliss
Surpassing festive meetings we can't miss
For glorious victory surely lingers
We all can express from our hearts' abyss.
*Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
