I'm sorry

I’ve insulted you

You, who bear in you

the image of our God

Forgive

that I have abused you

and have laughed at your cost

and done a thing not mine to do

and …

Please forgive me

I was wrong

I'm sorry

I’ve insulted You

You, Who share in us

the image of Yourself

Forgive

that I have abused You

and have laughed at Your hand

and claimed a thing not mine to own

and …

Please forgive me

I am wrong

This isn’t an apology for pointing out error

but for laughing at it, on finding it in others

and for the insult that such laughter is to God.
