Forgiveness

I’ve tasted the bitter gall of betrayal and I’ve accepted an apology that I never received. I’ve rescued enemies and held them while they grieved. I’ve breathed life into those who have wished me dead and cursed my name; For their inequities I have taken blameless blame. When I was met with the choice to let love die or let it live, In my darkest moments, I chose to forgive. Even as my emotions were in turmoil, my feelings so far flung Words of forgiveness were bittersweet on my tongue. “I forgive you” is such a hard phrase to say. But with those words, love wins in every way. People make mistakes, it’s part of our core Temptations are part of life; the excitement; the allure. In forgiving, I set myself free from the power of pain Forgiveness is the soothing, cleansing rain. We rebuild, love lives. The heart recovers; it forgives. We try, we fail, we try again because we love. Forgiveness is angels’ song from above. In my heart, love will live. Because I love them, I will forgive.
