It is so obvious in reading your absolutely beautiful poem that your words came from deep within your heart, Harley. I just would like to say that I concur with Guy, i.e., that your next poem might begin: "I forgive myself for God is a merciful God". The words of your poem make so apparent your very real sorrow...and it seems that you have suffered enough...that it's time to "move on" knowing in your mind and heart that surely the merciful God of whom Guy spoke has forgiven you. Hopefully, this will bring at least a degree of comfort to your aching heart, Harley.
