The poem - "Begging Forgiveness"

Just as a child, after committing some nuisance,

Begs lenience from its parent,

I crave You to forgive its insignificance,

As usual, even at present.

Being a mundane human being,

I don't foster that discretion;

Many things pass just fleeing;

Can’t this too be void of impression?

Honestly, I never wanted to blaspheme,

By alluding to Your name in the feature;

O, forgive me, for my mind was dim;

I compared You with our Nature.

“To err is human, to forgive divine”;

So I do beg of you;

Let my soul with sooth to shine,
Let it always be true.
