Forgive Us

Poem Artwork

For what we have done, forgive us.

Driven you insane with our compromising behaviour.

Living at the edge, with no worries.

Partying even when you least expect us to.

Our dress code, a bit too revealing.

Competitive we are, with our mates.

Sometimes shaky on where we stand in life.

We make mistakes,but we learn from them.

Someday soon, we will come to that place of maturity.

We won't drive you insane anymore and our thinking will rhyme with yours.

I say, forgive us for what we have done.

We are only young...

The sooner we learn how not to make these life-changing mistakes and grow up, the less likely we'll have to ask for forgiveness. Some things done by youth can't be forgiven because they cause destruction that can't be corrected.

I read it more than once. I'm not good at praying, but your poem offered some ease. Thank you.

You touch my heart right in the center. Makes me think God sent these words for me especially. I take them! Thank you very much! God is indeed good! By the way, compared to God we are all young, but maybe that's what you meant. God bless, sis, D.T.

Yes, wonderful poetic thoughts of forgiveness!
Of course you will be forgiven, after all Saul became Paul.
He is the perfect example of the Lords grace.
I see a smile on your face.
Keep smiling, you were fearfully and wonderfully made.
The Lord has GREAT plans for you Mary.
You are a blessed child of God.
Jesus loves you and so do I.
Amen!

Yes, He will forgive us, because no one was born knowing everything already. Our lives are filled with failures and triumphs. Each step we take is a learning process to perfection.
