seventy times seven - 2

seventy times seven
an infinite number
we are to forgive
without ceasing
love over all
not seeking revenge
seventy times seven
a challenge to this hot head
these words spoken
to Peter, the rock,
a challenge to us
so fully human
to truly love our neighbors
as Christ loves us.
