just a little while longer

and it will all be past--

the hurts

and humiliations

will be laughed off

and those who brought

the unwelcome gifts

laughed off with them--

God probably would've preferred

I'd have repented sooner--

He thinking it too easy to forgive

where there's nothing left to forgive--

but this is the best I can do--

and if I'm not perfect enough--well too bad--

how good can He be if He doesn't see

those hurts are still there--still carried--

still mourned--but without the nonsense

that attended before--

sweat it if thou needst to Lord

just a little while longer

and it won't matter anymore--

it will all be past--
