Forgiveness (The True Test of Love)
I reckon the thing I try to say
I say with all my heart
After all the fun of being high
Your life will fall apart
Life to me is like a river
One with many falls
And I have rode the rapids
Living for the call
Don’t know how it happened
Or if I ever will
But somewhere deep inside
I changed how I feel
I guess my heart was so broke
Nothing left to break
I was left all alone in a cell
Nothing left to take
About truly understanding love
Believe these words I say
You will truly learn to treasure it
When love’s taken away
I don’t mean when love is lost
We all have broken hearts
Bleeding red down the page
Not even knowing where to start
When you still love each other
One gets taken away
Through the fears, tears and years
The other will go astray
Forgiveness is the test of love
It is the test of time
Wife and I withstood the test
We are doing fine
Know the trials hurt real bad
Shadows filled my soul
As years I spent full of hate
Living in a hole
When they finally set me free
Our eyes came together
We each knew there was no test
Love could not weather
--------------------------------
When you love with all you are
All you are is who you love.
Never jeopardize that or let it go.
Everything but that love is just
another illusion. MJ
