A Peaceful Mind

[rayofsunshine]

I'd like to share a poem my AH (who's currently in prison) had clipped from a newspaper and mailed to me....


A Peaceful Mind By: D.T. Priest

"To undo the past," what a wonderful thought
To do away with ugly deeds wrought
But, my friend, it doesn't work that way
So we must look to today
The past has already been lived
If it's ugly then ask God to forgive
Does that do away with what you've done amiss?
As for God, it's in His sea of forgetfulness
But you sometimes think this cannot be
For humans possess a powerful thing called memory
It will kick in from time to time
And when it doesn't someone else will bring it to mind
And then there's a common foe both you and I have faced
That has tempted us many times into disgrace
He will use your memory and use it well
To keep you bound in a mental he*ll
Some call him Satan or maybe Scratch
But whatever the name, he's on the attack
When his attacks become too great
Carry him back to line eight
And may all of God's redeemed
Grasp this knowledge-- it's no dream
OUR SINS ARE FORGOTTEN!!!
