It is always <br />What I would like to think <br />That I would do first. <br />...It’s not of course. <br /> <br />It’s after anger, <br />It’s after fear, <br />It’s after the hate, <br />That draws me near. <br /> <br />It’s a wearing out, <br />It’s a draining away, <br />It’s waiting it out, <br />Day after day. <br /> <br />So go ask God <br />For his forgiveness, <br />He is so much quicker <br />Than I. <br /> <br />Or ask me again <br />Much more later, <br />After I’ve had <br />A lot more liquor.<br /><br />Sandra Osborne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forgiveness-6/
