To Forgive You And Me Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

‘He that without sin among you,
Let him cast the first stone' on her.

She was accused of adultery;
Those who brought her wanted justice.

‘Such women shall be stoned to death.'
Laws of Mosses profess like this.

The woman was surprised by Christ;
The crowd dispersed without a word.

‘Father, forgive them.' Said Jesus,
‘For they know not what they do.',

At every fall of hammer
On the nail of Crucifixion.

Attack sin, not sinners, said He.
Forgive sin; sin no more, said He

Every saint has a past;
Every sinner has a future.

Christ wants to forgive you and me;
He wants you and me to forgive.
