Clean Slate

Each day He grants us forgiveness
Forgiveness some of us feel we don't deserve
Yet He still shows us grace beyond measure

Like most I've been the one to withhold forgiveness at times
Yet He has shown His daughter she cannot withhold the gift He's so graciously given to her more times than she can count
She's recently been reminded that forgiveness is not something earned it is something given
To all I've withheld this gift from I'd like to say I'm sorry
I want to start with a clean slate letting everyone know
I love you and there's nothing you could ever do or say to ever make me stop

I hope the words of this poem will inspire all who read it to grant everyone a clean slate
After all someone once did it for all of us
Shouldn't we all be thankful for His sacrifice?

Ablaze

The love I feel for him sets this heart of mine ablaze The love I feel for him feels like nothing I've ever felt I pray the fire our love started in my heart never dies Baby, may you always know I will love you till the end of time

I Miss

I miss the man who said he was my friend
I wish I had known what your definition of the word friend was, because nowhere in my definition of the word friend does it say you have the right to hurt me the way you did
I miss the man who said he would always be there for me
Where are you now?
Oh wait, I wish I had realized I didn't need you as much as I thought I did back then

Why did the man I miss I think it was it right to take everything I felt was sacred and turn it around to be used against me?
Yes, there are still times I miss you but more often than not there are times I miss me more

The woman I miss more than anything is going to take a minute to forgive you
Don't get me wrong I'm not doing this for you
I'm doing this because it's the only way I'm going to get the closure I really believe I deserve
