Analysis of Forgiveness Of Trespasses
Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)
Forgive me all of my trespasses,
I have been blind along my way,
Allow my tribulations to calm,
Like calming of the sea,
Aching inside a tear falls,
I continue to call out your name,
Holding onto the memories,
Dream's remaining the same,
Imagination so overwhelming,
Anger continues in stride,
Darkness is cold, and surrounding,
A feeling I now cannot hide,
Forgive me all of my trespasses,
Aching inside a tear falls,
Imagination is so overwhelming,
A pain I will always recall.
