Listen to poem:
What lies on the field of forgiveness?
Not triumph won at all cost,
Not the bitter stink of defeat in regret.
But the grass waving in the breeze
Over-sown on the scars of battles past lost.
For this field yields
Neither victory nor surrender
Neither erasure nor forget me nots
But the grace and poise of mercy,
Sprouting green shoots from
The seeds of love shared.
