Forgiving God

Title explains it all

"Dear Father--

Where do I begin?


I don’t have much longer


May I confess my sins?

I am a terrible man


Who abused his power


Killed the men and raped the women


That were kept prisoner in the tower

I led my forces--


Into this city


Hacking and slashing from our horses--


Leaving our names and yours bloody

But now I’m wounded

And my blood is running


My chest was pounded


And now death is coming"

I can feel myself slip

I feel your forgiving arms


My mortal head is starting to dip


I’m free from humanity’s harm
