Forgiveness

Consider how flawed we are Our offenses way over par One must be objective and not selective Or willingly disregard A transgression has been committed Contrition sincerely submitted The scales will not balance holding hated or malice Without anger and hurt omitted While measuring the weight of the guilt At some point the scales will tilt Will you forgive or hold on to relive And tear down the relationship built If forgiveness weighs on the wrong side Ill feelings will never subside Next time you fall or you drop the ball Fate's justice will not be so blind an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner

It is one powerful word responsible for great horror (when lacking) and immeasurable, profound peace and goodwill when acknowledged. A fantastic write DT with wonderful meaning, conveyed with grace. lynnxxx

Thank you, Gordon. Often times our pride and egos prevent us from doing what's right. Forgive and we will be forgiven.
