If While... Poem by George Aul

If while on this Earth,
I treat you bad,
please forgive me,
for making you sad...

If while on this Earth,
I curse at you,
please forgive me,
for my ignorance showing through...

If while on this Earth,
I show you no gratitude,
please forgive me,
for my distasteful attitude...

If while on this Earth,
I do any hurtful act,
please forgive me,
for hiding my tact...

If while on this Earth,
you still give me your love,
I know you've been sent,
from the Heavens above.
