Denying Truth

I would never deny you!

Who could do such a thing?

I should have known better.

You told me that I would deny you three times,

but I just didn't want to believe you.

Before I knew even what I was saying,

I denied that I ever knew you to three people!

Now, I feel shame and regret about it,

my terrible lack of courage and boldness.

When you came back I saw forgiveness in your eyes,

and I loved you more than ever before!

Now, I wait, with childlike expectancy,

to see what you have in store.

You have given me a second chance,

and I am assured that this is an amazing circumstance.
