I pray for forgiveness
for the bullies, the
victims,
for those times when I have
lashed out in anger
when I have hurt those I
love
I pray for forgiveness
from my family, my neighbors
all those I have hurt
caught up in the flesh
in the ways of the world
in selfish self-interest
in taking, not giving
not offering love
I pray for forgiveness
from God, from Jesus,
from the Spirit when I
disregard
the Spirit’s urgent word for
me
I pray for forgiveness
until I reach eternity
