Father, forgive them,
For they know not what they do.
Father, forgive them,
Even when they know what they do.
Father, forgive them,
When they know what they do
and feel guilty about it.
Father, forgive them,
When they know what they do
and don’t feel guilty about it.
Father, forgive them,
When they know what they do
and feel guilty about it,
but not guilty enough to repent.
Father, forgive them,
When they don’t want to repent.
Father, forgive them.
Father, forgive me.
“To make known what lurk in murky wilds…
My midnight struggles, hushed and hidden,
Or preserve the semblance of a perfect child.”
