Taciturnity

I
If one of our failing friends will not talk
How would we walk the forgiveness walk?
Do forgive them anyway

II
How does one forgive, live, pray, alone?
Maybe texting failed friends, or a diary
May bring you to forgiveness anyway

III
When the hurt is deep, they hurt you yet
Talk to God, the Universe, as David's psalms did
And it will become prayer anyway!

Shalom, shalom Dear Hearts!

One lesson I've learned is you forgive not just for them but for yourself, so your heart can have peace~
