Forgiveness

It’s hard to absolve sin
Forgiveness comes from within 
It all depends on what crime is done
Nothing will end until this has begun

Nothing is harder than to forgive our sins
The heart is stronger when forgiveness begins
Such evil done by others how can we forgive?
So much evil in this world so this is how we live

Forgiveness and mercy is so important now
We have to change this world somehow
But how can we forgive such evil ways?
Forgive our sins now and for always

Forgiveness is one of the greatest accomplishments to which we can aspire, Pamela. It is often difficult to forgive those who have hurt us, but that is a major component of the Christian philosophy. Sometimes, it's even difficult to forgive ourselves. This poem is very well written and inspirational! Love, carolyn

Good write Pamela, I am so happy to see, as yourself, that many see just how importaint forgiving is. Forgiving is the only thing that will stop judgement. And being the love that we are in the world is our means of rising above the human fault. Sincerely, Love, Moses
