Who Suffers Most?…

How can I not forgive you;
For that which I may be guilty of too?

How can I be so hypocritical;
With fierce darts so critical?

For it is great Grace,
That saves me as a Scapegrace.

Buffeted and Battered by Transgressions,
I bow to my knees, folded within.

Searching to recognize my peace,
As hot tongues of the brethren’s accuser,

Chastises from within the inner realm,
A quiver full of squirmy thoughts.

How can I not….

For to forgive you
Is to forgive myself.

    1. Forgiveness is definitely not easy to come by, but like you rightly said, for the sake of our peace and sanity, we simply have to try. Thank you Margaretha. Happy New Year and the best of 2016 to you and yours 🙂
