Poem

As I looked into her deep blue eyes 
My heart told me to forgive 
The conflict began when I was a teen 
I knew right from wrong and she ignored me 
Now with his help, I could stop pretending 
He restored my faith 
He gave me hope 
He opened up my heart 
He brought me to my knees 
With tears streaming down my face 
I looked at her, really looked at her 
For the first time in my life, I knew 
It was time to take the road to forgivness 
He smiled as I took a deep breath  
I forgive you for not taking care of me 
I forgive you for giving money away that you didn’t have to give 
I forgive you for enabling your son 
I forgive you for neglecting yourself to put others first 
I forgive you for every indiscretion, every fault, every heartbreak 
She wept quietly staring straight back into my deep, blue eyes 
Tears fell from my cheeks onto His hand and He gently grasped mine 
A burden was lifted from me like never before 
The picture was real 
It’s true I thought to myself forgiveness is divine 
As He left to take care of his daily work, I stood staring at her 
A smile came across her face and I felt a sense of calm 
And walked away from the mirror anew
