The Repenter
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
They grew into one.
I'm sorry. Forgive me. I forgive others.
They opened their eyes.
I'm sorry. Forgive me. I forgive others.
They took their first breath of air.
I'm sorry. Forgive me. I forgive others.
They lived for a second.
I'm sorry. Forgive me. I forgive others.
They learnt forgiveness.
I'm sorry. Forgive me. I forgive others.
They repented to Mother/Father God.
I'm sorry. Forgive me. I forgive others.
About this poem
Day by day. Piece by piece. Second by second. Your soul needs forgiveness.
