Forgive the blog hog who devoured your slice of cyberspace
And stole the wondrous spot you picked as your new domain place.
Forgive the person who debunked your subtle rise to power
By gobbling up the parking place you chose for this fine hour.
Because they know not what they do –
At least, not as well as you,
Or maybe they’re just feeling rather blue.
Therefore they have no space to share with you.
So, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
And while you’re at it…
Forgive the critic who just gave your book a bad review,
Requiring you to work much harder five stars to accrue.
To you, his words cut deeply, though for him they might ring true.
Perhaps he had a bad day where his website went askew
And could find nothing better than to take it out on you.
Perhaps he knows not what is true,
Or what the right thing is to do.
And has no idea how his words hurt you.
Or maybe he cannot see what is true,
And therefore he has no grace to share with you.
No matter why he wasn’t kind,
Try to forgive him, for he’s blind.
And while you’re at it…
Forgive the ones who said they’d read your manuscript,
But it seems somehow as if they flipped the script,
Because you never got a firm rejection slip.
And now, as a result, you feel quite gypped,
As if you once stood on firm ground but then you slipped.
(As the scripture says, “Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.” – Proverbs 25:19. “However, “When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’ your mercy, O LORD, held me up.” – Psalm 95:18).
So forgive them, for they know not what they do,
And perhaps, concerning friends, they have too few.
Regardless of the reason they neglected you,
You really needn’t worry, fret or stew,
But should allow God’s grace to make things new for you.
(“Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those who wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.” – Psalm 37:8-9. “Say not, ‘I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save you.” – Proverbs 20:22)
