A Baby Cries
A baby cries all night "mommie"
No one answers her feeble plea
Soon the baby's cries stop-dried up
As her speech halts and emotions' cup
The adult carries the hurt child
Every snub, hurt, or those seemed are filed
A need for forgiveness weighs heavy
But deeper, deeper, deeper bury~
A pressure cooker boiling erupts
Each thought, action, steadily corrupts
Just a little time spent releasing
Grudges no longer increasing
Forgiveness is for the one holding.
Heavy weights lifted; new life molding
Inspired by Craig Cornish's Contest About Forgiveness
