God is compassionate
Eager to forgive
Eager to forget
Of God’s forgiveness, we are sure
So, we ask.
And then there is us, flawed
Holding back in forgiving ourselves
Unwilling to let the past go
Unable to heal.
Too harsh with our thoughts, daily
Confident that if time could turn back
An error-free life would be ours
Forgetful our kind is born of errors
Empowered just for change
Today and tomorrow.
We should give ourselves forgiveness
The kind we seek from God
Allow ourselves redemption
Allow freedom
Allow forgetfulness.
It’s okay
I stumbled
I learned
I forgive myself
I let go
I forget
