do not forgive me

the green eyes

(that's a grandma sin)

have no forgiveness for

too weak arms

(it isn't too soon to rely on them)

have no forgiveness for

the silence

(as long as I'm silent)

and laughter

(when my tears are in it)

have no forgiveness for

the song o'er songs

not Christ crosses

sloppy thoughts

and the time

wasted

on the way led to You

just forgive me

my youth

(it will pass away)
