Sorry - 10/16/05 02:35 PM
For so long I walked carefully on my tightrope
each step placed looking ahead and behind
then as if designed by God
I tripped and fell
my limbs catching all that was around me
including you
I am sorry I pulled you down
and the pain you must have felt
when you found yourself hitting the ground
unexpected, out of the blue
And now, for me
this pain is both what I expected and then not at all
Shock, nausea, grief, confusion, and pain work themselves out
into reality, something which must be dealt with
Still mercy is given in some measure
I don't know why, nor do I understand
I can't help but be convinced that God has ordered this
So put your heart to rest
allow peace to find you
Let your pain be healed
knowing it will be ok
because it surely will
along with the knowledge you won't be struck again
The bones will be set
and reset as needed, and the cast will be put in place
I hope you will forgive me
I am so sorry
