Forgive

I'll forgive you for being critical,

if you'll forgive me for being so political.



I'll forgive you for being voracious,

if you'll forgive me for being flirtatious.



I'll forgive you for being obscure,

if you'll forgive me 'cause I'm insecure.



I'll forgive you for embracing illusion,

if you'll forgive me for all my collusion.



I'll forgive you for being confused,

if you'll forgive me for being abused.

What comes first, offence or forgiveness?

GENEVA,
YOUR WORDS REALLY TOUCH ME DEEP WITHIN MYSELF. YOU PULL EVERY EMOTION FROM MY BEING. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS.

Forgiveness is the foundation of true love's glory!!! I enjoyed the easy, smooth feel of this one, and the profound thoughts as well!!

nice style. To answer your query, I believe forgiveness always comes first. One much wiser than I demonstrated such love some 20 centuries ago. Keep sharing your thoughts. I appreciate what you write.
