| Posted by Johnny Crimson on 08/07/09 at 01:48 PM I'm caught somewhere in between your preferred choice of action here you see I don't hate the beasts nor do I love them with peace, No, I usually end up F*&king the beasts who wrong me!
Good job. |

| Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 08/07/09 at 11:09 PM ...the continuing part is difficult, nearly impossible to attain. It may take a lifetime. It wasn't until someone personally bestowed grace upon me that I clearly did not deserve -that I understood pure forgiveness. And wanted to be a giver of forgiveness as well as its recipient. |

Good poem. |
