DON'T GIVE UP ON ME!


 “To harm a person's very, very wrong, by reckless word or deed, neglect, or hate. Why don't we pray fer patience deep and long, instead of hastening ta judgment, wait? Like me, I've surely done some cruel things, and I have Loved the mercy I've been shown. It's Heaven's love from which that mercy springs, and we all need it, 'cause we're error-prone. So, Buddha, please do not give Up on me, 'cause I'm a work in progress, day by day. Your light of Truth, I always need ta see, so please enlighten me, dear Lord, I pray!”
