Poem Title:
Poem
If my head wasn't filled with thoughts of revenge I'd be able to unclench my fist and open my hand, to take God's in mine Leading me out of the darkness Stepping foot in his everlasting garden Planting seeds of forgiveness for my enemies So that by rainfall, I will be nourished and bud with new perspective Washing away will be my pain and suffering I'll be praying for my enemies By morning sunlight The ideas of vengeance, my sins Will evaporate I will ascend and be uplifted Holding onto angers hand Is like befriending the Devil To not be in contact with God or your soul Only to be entranced in the thought of sinning Our lives are not guaranteed We could all die at any second I will leave this earth in peace To join my fellow brethren Not plotting revenge, only praying that those who have harmed me Will reconcile with us in heaven Forgiveness for our enemies Is a courageous and powerful act for a person to do So don't waste life's precious seconds cursing others When you could be using that time to pray for you Pray your heart can let go of those wrong doings Pray your debtors will someday see the light Pray eventually they can plant seeds of their own And take God's hand to be led out of the darkness When my life is taken, by then it won't be for granted I will be strong, my ego I will have overcome Even if it's with my dying breath, I will have the love to rise above I'll be down on my knees To God I will be Praying for my enemies
