Forgiveness

When you're hurt by someone you love and trust You become sad a jumbled mass of nerve- crushed You cover your bleeding self with a crust of smile Heart aches tears roll and you knock him a country mile It is easy to hold a grudge and on flame with anger You are swallowed by bitters and cannot muffle the banger You are wrapped up in blues and sun is hellish moor You feel the chill of life and monsters on the spoor But you see the other end they are bent out of shape They are in pain and act up in the minute of scrape Put yourself in his place and think of deadly hours You can find a ravished land where is no heaven-showers So forgive him be one with him it'll cure your scar "I forgive you brother let us enjoy the morning star" Forgiveness - Poetry Contest Sponsor rob carmack

Forgiveness is a soothing balm we administer to ourselves at the same time we forgive someone who has hurt us. Your poem expresses how important forgiveness is Rajat! This is wonderful! 7

Forgiveness releases its hold both on the one who forgives and the forgiven....and "Death loses its sting". From one man to another, forgiveness is the most generous gesture one can give. I love your poem, I love the conclusion. A 7. Be blessed my friend. :D Kim

I like "Forgiveness" because it is something we must do, whether we want to, or not. You have penned a poem so inviting.

I love the final couplet especially Rajat - sadly sometimes the pain and hurt runs too deeply to be able to truly forgive:-( Good luck in the contest:-) Hugs Jan xx
