Forgiveness

Took me by surprise friendship meant nothing to you built trust then betrayed sorrow and anger bedfellows that give no sleep open wound is raw pardon is my salve as the Lord does unto me mercy I must show not weakness but strength rise above in faith and love healing my reward For contest 'Forgiveness', sponsor Laura Loo 18th August 2016
