Janetta Harrington Poet Free verse

This Time

he came of
his own volition

this time

he was rested
and i saw a
glimmer of
his old humor

in his eyes

a little put off
i played to his
mood and
the evening
went well

and you know

i felt relieved
some what comfortable

somehow

i guess i am
forgiving after
all

this time

you know, don't you
i am just that way
you know

how could i 
be hating someone
long after i forgot
to remembered
what the hate was
about

so i forgave again

this time

Sharon Winter February 8, 2009 at 4:46 AM Forgiveness can be a beautiful thing, especially for the person giving it. Simple but powerful write I can relate to very much. Well expressed. Love, Shar
