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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!
