Healing Heart of Memories

When days of old
                                       Are pure as gold
                                       And memories
                                           Shine on
                                       A joyful chance
                                       A circumstance
                                        I look forth to
                                           The dawn
                                     
                                       When memories
                                        Of cold worries,
                                          Bring back
                                          heartaches
                                            Of pain
                                        Reviving hurt
                                       And all the dirt
                                         I Relive that
                                               Day    
                                              Again
                                       
                                       The horrid dread
                                       Ugly things said
                                       And that gloomy
                                       Cloud moves on
                                       To days of Gold
                                         Greyed mists
                                        Of old, Stealing 
                                        The brand new
                                               Dawn
                                         
                                        Forgiveness is
                                         Forever's key
                                      Healing my heart,
                                         Dark memory
                                       
                                       I stand upon a
                                          Seashore
                                         Past oceans
                                           Of regret
                                       Where He once
                                       washed my sins
                                           away and
                                         Promised to  
                                             Forget
                                         
                                        
                                        This golden day
                                           Shines all
                                             around
                                         His blessings
                                          Oh! They so 
                                            Abound!
                                            
                                       Yester's darkness 
                                         may not linger
                                        It's commanded
                                            To depart!
                                         I'll walk in joys
                                           Of heaven
                                         For my Savior 
                                        Owns my heart
                                       
                                       Forgiveness washes
                                          over my soul
                                       I'll choose His way
                                         As my own goal
                                          
                                          Oh Lord, Your 
                                          Grace has set

                                           Shining bright
                                       Dear Heaven's Light
                                        Away the dark of
                                           Hellbent night
                                            'Forgiveness'
                                         Surely is the key
                                         It leads to sweet
                                               Eternity
                                       And heals my soul's
                                           Dark memory

                                       

 3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”  ~ Luke 17:3       

                                     
  9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.  ~ Matthew 6:9-13                                
                                      

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.    ~ Luke 23:34
                                                KJV

I like this faith-based poem. It is not easy to forgive because we are human, but it is best for our mind, soul, spirit and emotion to be at rest or ease. You visited my page a while back and somehow, I missed seeing your comments. I wanted to say thank you for dropping by. Sara
