Forgiven

"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you."
- C. S. Lewis -

I'm late to last week's 50-word party,

but I'm posting this poem nonetheless, after having agonized over it for a long, long time.

From the moment I laid eyes on the prompt word, I knew what this short piece needed to deal with.

Forgiven

by Duncan Cary Palmer

Thinking myself righteous,
Noble, come what may,
Honesty discloses truth:
Disgusting feet of clay.

Searching for a remedy,
To genuflect I'm driven.
"God, be merciful to me,
I needs must be forgiven!"

Relieved of this relentless guilt
My soul, profoundly riven,
Now looks up in gratitude:
I have been forgiven.
