TROUBLE TIMES ARE COMING

poem by: Kenvil Atkins
Written on Jan 22, 2020

My brother my brother when will we patch the bitterness of anger
I did you wrong 
My brother I was not strong enough to forgive I walk the lonely places
I am older and all alone
In my memory and find you walking there it is not possible I tell myself
Adrift lonely and lost 
Come back to me my brother our father’s house is yonder and the Lord
Is our door keeper
He says come so come we must arrogance and pride has destroy the good in me
I was once pure and blameless
My love for the brethren was clear and all was perfect but time and weakness has renew the purity in me
Forgive my ignorance my brother pray for my spirit let me gaze upon your face once more before the great Judgment day
Release me of my shame back in the years of our youth we played games sing songs making our hearts merry
There were no guardianship but we live to survive to a time of blessings so plenty 
Ignorance not wealth has torn us apart although the cup was empty to think 
I pray it’s not envy 
Trouble times are coming my brother my heart aches for your forgiveness now   brother for love is always the key to happiness
To brother Lambert

With such an earnest and heartful poem of forgiveness, and apology? How can your brother Lambert fail to forgive you? I know God would and so would I!.
