Analysis of Poem for the dead
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Almighty forgiver
Make me aware of this sinner
Create in this dreamer
Lifes partaker
Forgiver of regret
Star player in a glorious team
Emphasize the mean
Acceptor of amense,
Okays and sorrows,
Forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
