Tonight I received an embrace
A large and lavish embrace
A grand man large by many measure
One might say a fallen man
A reduced and sinful man
Looking for forgiveness and acceptance
It was a strong and uncomfortable embrace
I was not ready to forgive
Tonight I received an embrace
A quick and passive embrace
From a man grand in my esteem
You may call a mentor or father
A friend, now hurt, by my sin
I was looking for forgiveness and acceptance
But it was an uncomfortable confirmation
He was not ready to forgive.
