The Field Of Forgiveness

The field 
of forgiveness 
accepts 
seeds of regret 

to merge 
with seeds of hurt
hoping
to bloom new starts

The pain 
of wrongs that stab
heals with 
the words "I'm sorry" 

The angst
felt by offenders
grows calm
with "you're forgiven" 

So mend
the fractured hearts
in life's
field of forgiveness

Lin Lane December 6, 2024 at 10:29 AM Sowing seeds of regret... that's a powerful line, Sandra. We should be able to plow those fields before getting to that point. Nicely written. Sandra Haight December 17, 2024 at 5:13 PM Thank you very much, Lin, for your lovely comment! Hugs, Sandra
