Repentance

Repentance serves a purpose,
but let us not forget
that "sorry" won't erase the deed
or pay the debtor's debt.
While guilt for one's transgressions
should be the rule of thumb,
it can't replace the better choice
of leaving wrong undone.

Author Notes
Many thanks to Miranda Signore for this marvelous photo of Sawyer with his guilty look of head down, eyes up. :-)
