Field of Forgiveness

You have caused a world of pain, making me feel like you had me by a chain. My life and spirit you did drain, I cried like a heavy rain. Field of forgiveness is an art, one needs to make a new start. It comes from a loving heart, when one is very smart. Forgiveness must be for me, it is not about thee. I need to be set free, then I can flee.

Field of Forgiveness is so true but There are times you must think to yourself. I was smart enough not to stay till my dying day with someone who couldn't love you the way you loved and that's his Loss, the man upstairs has other plans for you. Nice that you shared your heart with us

Great to see you here. Thank You for stopping over. Glad you enjoyed my "Field of Forgiveness" write. I was young when I let people walk all over me, no more. Yes, the man upstairs has other plans for us. Guess I will never understand why people need to hurt people. Guess it gives them power. We can find freedom/peace in forgiveness. Forgive others with blessings.........

Yes, forgiveness is about the person who is having all kinds of emotion about something that happened that is pulling them down into a vortex of negativity. Thanks for sharing this one with us. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender. Soupmail soon. Sara K
