Kneel for forgiveness

I ran out
To the store.
I needed some
Eggs.
I ran out
And I eat eggs
Everyday..
So off I go.
I put on a baseball
Hat..
No makeup.
As I am leaving
The store I
See an Old
Man kneeling
On the ground .
Are you ok?
I ask.
Do you need
Help?
I bend over.
He looks up.
The most beautiful
Blue eyes I have
Seen.
I am just kneeling
For forgiveness.
He says.
I am a little taken
Back.
Ok, I say.
I start to
Walk away.
Do you need
Forgiveness ?
He asks.
I turn slowly.
I stare at his
Blue eyes..
So blue I
Could jump in them
And swim.
Yes.. I say.
I feel a hot
Tear running
Down my face.
I need forgiveness.
He says sweetly,
For what my dear?
I broke my
Promise to God.
I say.
He pauses
And quickly
Responds,
Oh that ..
He forgives you.
Kneel next to me
And tell me your favorite
Color .
Looking around
Nobody around
I feel like I should
Kneel.
I do quickly.
And say
My favorite
Color is yellow.
Of course it is
He says.
You know why?
He asks.
I shake my
Head .. No.
It's because
You are
Blessed
You are
Forgiven.
How do you know?
I ask.
Because you
Got down
On your
Knees.
He says.
People
Forget humble.
You are humble .
I get up and
Walk
Away.
Hey .. The man yells at me,
God forgives you.
Now forgive yourself.
