Forgiveness
I cannot understand it.
I cannot tell you why
some people never forgive.
They just hate until they die.
When death comes it is final,
and wrongs cannot be righted.
It’s too late then to seek forgiveness.
Two lives will forever remain blighted.
Forgiveness has a double edge,
it helps both the receiver and giver.
Eternity is a long, long time…
to remember past hurts unforgiven.
