Forgive, the World Needs It

As the great man's note rightly says it
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong
The weak can never indulge in it
For, they are the ones to see always the world as wrong

Yes, forgiveness implies that someone did someone wrong
Someone did hurt someone else
Someone did put on the dirty song
Or someone did become an adverse

Why, to be able to forgive, one needs to understand life
Human nature rather, for being attracted always to making more than one gaffe
It is in our nature to think only of our ego
While basking others in unwanted sorrow

Say, have you never ever erred
Have you, from the right path, never strayed
Have you not caused pain
Have you not raised up your nose in unwanted disdain

Pray, think of the wife of the unfaithful husband
The one who forgot where are the limits of his borderland
The one who did hurt
By showing his love as being in distort

Think of the child, capricious and selfish
Always does he care only to have his share of the dish
Never does he wonder about his parents
Whether or not, he does push them into torments

Think of the one who is so hurt that he has no other option
None other than causing around him, great destruction
Destruction like death
Destruction like loss of faith

Well, of all these, if one does repent
I believe towards forgiveness he is bent
Of all these, I believe that forgiveness is a merciful blessing
One that does lead to a higher awakening

I shall forgive indeed
I shall forgive, for such does be my creed
I shall forgive,
Pray, come, love to the world, I am ready to give!

I love how well u described the issue of forgiveness in your poem. Forgiving is one of those things that is hard to do, especially when a loved one hurts. Be blessed. 7++
