Notes About The Poem

9/18/2025 for Forgiveness Poetry Contest sponsored by Kai Michael Neumann

Forgiveness is Golden

Forgiveness is essential, I am told,
but it makes me think of the rule of gold.
When I think of the mistakes I've made,
all the harm I have conveyed,
and the second chances I've been given,
I still hope to be forgiven.
So, when it comes to forgiving others, 
the golden rule applies to my brothers.

I enjoyed reading your powerful "Forgiveness is Golden" write. It is golden. Everyone should have a second chance. "Good Luck" We both did this one. Have a wonderful day writing away............
