i forgive you if you need my forgiveness i release you from whatever I have bound you with i heal you from the scars and wounds I have inflicted look deep deeper inside to your core to your cave to your heart i see the names i have been called the ignorance with which i have been treated the love denied the hurt dispensed  the ignoring the labeling the failure to be seen doors closed wars raged pain and suffering abound but yet i have been loved adored even i have received gifts to raise the spirit moments of intimacy lasting friendships opportunities undreamed of had second and third chances been healed into new ways found god,  and occasionally lost god again played guitar sung lived for today  all is equal i welcome it all
