"Self-forgiveness"

Poem by Ginny Luedeman

No moments of failure when something was lost
No foolish decisions when treasures were tossed
I didn't mess up and forget God is here
I didn't make choices that made good disappear
I live in the care and the love of God's grace
There's no way I can move to a lesser-loved place
My keeping is not in the wisdom of man
But always secure in God's spiritual plan
I forgive all my yesterdays, visions unclear,
And hear my God telling me, "Child, you are dear."
