Forgiveness

"Forgiveness heals an open wound, the spirit repairs the soul"

As the red sun sets so did she
Taking her life far away
Did she even consider me
Lord, I do forgive her this day     


Inspired by Rick Parise's Contest One Original Quote Plus Four Line Poem

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/15/2016 9:23:00 PM Yes, I am like Carolyn wondering if the quote above the poem is yours . it truly is profound, Sara. Lovely little poem to go with it. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 9/16/2016 10:15:00 AM Andrea, As far as I know the quote is mine but it could be from internalizing so many things from scripture, religious literature, and other people's work..I guess since you two haven't ever heard it before I could post it as my original quote..I did not copy it directly from anywhere..Sara

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 9/14/2016 2:19:00 PM Sara, I've been thinking about forgiveness a lot recently. It truly is the best way to heal wounds. Is the quote yours? How profound! The poem is both moving and compelling. Very nice. Login to Reply

John Hardison Date: 9/10/2016 10:38:00 PM Those who want to take their own life have often been badly hurt by life. Feel suicide their only escape. Sad!!! Best let God be the judge. Peace Love and Joy Login to Reply

Daniel Turner Date: 9/7/2016 10:55:00 PM Suicide is always misunderstood. Most people who commit suicide don't think of others because they don't feel like anyone will miss them. They are alone in life even when surrounded by family and friends. It;s hard to forgive what we don't understand. Great write on a very sad subject, Mrs Sara. Login to Reply
