Did y'll think I died? a new one, please c/c.?

Ski-Idaho

Hey Lil Bro: Welcome back sir. Nice arrangement you have put together, and glad to have you back.

Bro Ski, just my opine, but all you need to do is say "I am sorry."

Asking for forgiveness puts the decision on me...others can agree or disagree or abstain. In other words, I can, and have (though was never required) forgiven you for this. However, I could forgive and that still does not mean one is sorry. I would not say this if not important. It may sound like semantics to some, but in recovery have run into this dynamic before, and the person when confronted wanted nothing to do with saying they were sorry, because then they had to admit that they were wrong about something, and their pride was way too strong to come to a place of humility.

Knowing you, that is not the case, but, just a small issue to contemplate.

I like your last two lines. Where will you end up then my friend?

See you around now, right?

Hey, my friend with me there is no time between friends because I trust that you would tell me if you thought I needed to know when you are going away for a while, and I would be reasonably certain that you were ok or I would have emailed to ask. So just write more about what you might do if you actually DID take over hell. Might be fun!!

It's good to see you - welcome back friend

Jesus watches all his flock , especially those Earthwardly slowing drifting and he is very forgiving .

I don't think you will go to Hell :) nice to see you writing :)

No, ye'll ne'er take over in Hell<<<why do I capitalize something what ain't real?>>>cause there's a bridgetender I work with, that's already claimed that spot, by trying to kill me<<<yabba dabba do!

Ah, I do like a decent, positive ego to read

on a bleak November afternoon..

I`ve writ you a message in add details on the post you answered

our ski-racoon!

I really would not worry about Hell

for It`s in the charge of `Black Adder`

and he`s English, you know..

So puts on A Good Show

for those

whose peccadilloes are

a trifle madder

or

badder.

If you qualify

I guess you do

Y!APS bless you!

(ya fergot us, duhh???)

Afterthought:- I felt to come back to re-read (I did miss you)

and notice now what a really inclusive poem of yours this one is -

the three realms Earth Heaven, Hell (I guess Y is purgatory, by common assent, lately...)

life and death

friends, family, frenemies,

hope of forgiveness [ :)(: ]

a tilt at he fates...congrats - in such good solid stanzas too - Progress! O pilgrim of the regions of Y!APS. xxx

hi ski.

we usually feel more guilt about our behavior than those we wronged feel feel hurt...

USUALLY.

glad to see you writing. i can relate.
