Browsing through Larry's "for the Christians who frequent the News forum" is both discouraging and heartening. I love this poem that was originally published in Cornerstone Volume 17 Issue 88. It was published in the early -mid nineties and has been read over and over and inspired tears and prayers for this sinner! Reading through the thread brought it to mind.
Unwanted guests, dancing in our minds;
Cinemas of sadness, unretrieved by time.
Miskeyed choruses that never seem to cease.

Mistakes
Unwanted guests, dancing in our minds;
Cinemas of sadness, unretrieved by time.
Lying gamblers, calling us to bet;
Tear-soaked mothers of impotent regret.
Stone throwing robbers, shattering our peace;Tear-soaked mothers of impotent regret.
Miskeyed choruses that never seem to cease.
Unpreferred tutor, painful lessons in her test;
Wisdom sometimes teaches in an ugly tattered dress.
Wisdom sometimes teaches in an ugly tattered dress.
