I ran across a poem of forgiveness that I wrote back on May 23, 2008 and it is more of who I am and the man I desire for people to see, but some how through lifes ups and downs I let that part of me become covered by hurt, pain, negative feelings, and fear. Today I post the truly vulnerable me so that I can publicly bring this man within me back to life. #SharingTheProcess A New Beginning With love from my heart I say these words that are long past due From a convicted soul I pray you fully accept this as true The me that I was unconsciously wronged you. Harsh words from my mouth Piercing glares from my eyes I did these things in my past Now that part of me has died Through that death has been born New life A Spirit of forgiveness that must take flight The I that I am is conscious and is coming forth to make it right By reaching up I found something within A mere man that has love for everyone he sees It is not me, Jeffrey, who does this But the light that shines through me The anger, the ignorance, and the total disrespect All things, which I did to many causing much self regret The me that I was has dearly paid the price for being absent I come to you now individually and collectively Pleading for forgiveness for what I did to you Even if you do not remember or cannot recall the day Just know if I am telling you this I am aware of what you are due No, I am not perfect nor will I ever be But by starting here at least I may strengthen you and me The I that I am owes you love and I give it freely My hope is that you will accept these words as honest and true No ego, I come to you humbly with a sincere heart I cannot erase the thoughts, words, jesters or ill feelings But I present myself earnestly in respect for you as a start Through my growth process I had to forgive myself Now it is my obligation to ask the same from you and everyone else The me that I was is awakened and no longer on the shelf I am here - I Love you - I ask for your forgiveness now.
