Begging Forgiveness

Please forgive me for any pain I have caused
The numbers are too high for my non-fiscal mind to log
For all the commitments, I made with my fork tongue
I cry to know I have hurt anyone.

It’s not ok to say, “I didn’t mean that”
When I’m sure in the moment, I guaranteed it as fact
I’m sorry for the promises I didn’t keep
When I said I would be on time
But got caught in a web of sleep
What about all the times that I forgot
My mercurial mind makes that happen a lot
Or the sarcasm wit that stems from my mouth
It’s a by-product of being raised in the south
Excuses excuses, I really have none
I take responsibility for hurting anyone

I wish I could take back all the gossip I know I spread
But like Mr. Peabody’s Apples, I can only look ahead
I can’t collect all those feathers Try try try as I might,
Until karma strikes back, and makes it right.
Maybe then I will learn, my lesson in part
About using my voice for something less than, spiritual wisdom to impart
(even when I think it’s art)

Moreover, My friends and neighbors
I hope you don’t think I ever second-guessed your favors
I take nothing for granted; I swear that it’s true
But I’m sure I have faulted in letting you know that I do

If you are reading this, for your forgiveness I request
I am in great debt to your friendship, and truly feel blessed

With that being said, for now at least
I wish you a Happy New Year, with your worries released
Abundance and blessing, miracles and wonders
HUGE Expanding vessel, desire that creates thunders
It’s here for the taking, beginning today
A new year is dawning, like a bountiful buffet
Make the most of it, Indulge in your sharing
Go ahead take risks and be very daring
