I managed a major faux pas today <br />blood-sugar stabilizing peanuts - <br />eating too much, suddenly swelling <br />in my head causing debilitating pain: <br />pain in my ears, pain in my ears, PAIN <br />PAIN, stopped working, clung to my chair <br />looked at pictures, looked at nothingness <br /> <br />Painkillers unable to stop the pain in my ears <br />I lost everything, every hope of completing my <br />document, every dream of writing something <br />uplifting or noble or both, all I knew was the pain, <br />the bitter taste of failure again, once more I could <br />not complete a translation, could not even recall <br />the sound or the feel of the dream <br /> <br />The only thing I retained, the assurance I found: <br />‘I’ll never leave you nor desert you’ - I could not <br />pin it to anyone, so I assigned it to the Lord of <br />the New Testament who declared it is all <br />about love and forgiveness, I forgave <br />myself and everyone else…<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2010-02-22-forgave/
