Listen to poem:

Forgiveness

Forgiveness, is one's greatest weapon
With it, evil cannot no longer threaten

Your hurt, as pain no longer its source
Conquer, until it feels its own remorse

But leave it not to then forever wallow
Show it the way of God, to then follow

To control, its hurt of then hurting you
Because until then your job is not thru
