THE ONE WHO ALWAYS LOVES ME

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Unworthy

of the gift

of forgiveness

am I

 

But still

the gift

is offered

to a fool such as I

 

My sins

they all accuse me

right to my face

but

The One who always loves me

offers Amazing Grace

 

Amazing Grace

it covers me

like a blanket

of snow

with mercy

and the Greatest Love

that I shall ever know

 

Amazing Grace

and Mercy

have ended

all my fears

and

The One who always loves me

has wiped away my tears

 

And though

I’m so

unworthy

of forgiveness

now I know

The One who always loves me

will never let me go

from The One who always Loves me.

  6. Beautiful and reflective words Charles. Forgiveness is a wonderful gift but one we can sometimes find difficult to open. Have a blessed and peaceful Easter.

    1. You are the Wise One!!! Loved that thought. Yes, sometimes we can’t forgive ourselves and cannot believe that anyone would forgive us if we can’t forgive ourselves. I love this!!! Yes, it can be very difficult to open! Thanks for your kind words and for taking time to visit and comment, My Friend!!

  7. This is so graceful- it felt like I was watching a feather in the air slowly coming to rest. (Hard to describe-sorry).
    I’ve only just started a bit of poetry myself- and still gathering the courage to spread my wings.
    I’m definitely following you!
    Lovely tribute to your father.

    1. Oh Vivian, you are so kind to share your kind and gracious thoughts! I loved your description. Thank you so much for visiting and following me! I will look forward to your posts. If you are interested in writing poetry I cannot offer a better suggestion of a book to read that “Poemcrazy” it is really fantastic. Check it out on Amazon.

      My daughter got me started blogging by starting a blog without me knowing. She said here it is! “I am helping you face your fears, so I push you so you can fly”. That has been the best thing ever for me. I hope you will love writing poetry and blogging.

      Keep a Word Bank of all the words and phrases that hit you. Then you can use them as seeds for a new poem. Check out my “I Am Not A Poet” and “The Backside Of The Night” these all came into being from reading words of others.
