The Source Of Joy.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

my sins are not just mine
but yours too, and your sins
are not just yours, but mine
too, and if we really have
to search the annals of history,
these sins are not just ours,
but from everyone and everybody.

and so i have forgiven you,
and them, and so, i have also
forgiven myself. and so i have
forgiven this world, and that
is the only way to see the
gates of heaven, and be
with the kingdom
of everyone's God.
