Fountain of Mercy

Fountain of Mercy

Edward Hays

You would pour your flowing love
Profusely upon my calloused deeds
And rinse them with your forgiveness.
But I would prefer to blame others
Than to acknowledge my own faults.
I would rather look away in denial
Than look toward my actual omissions.
I would choose to forget my offenses
Instead of admitting I have done wrong.
Yet, you remain a Fountain of Mercy.

Today : I bathe in the Fountain of Mercy.
