To My Niece

Each of our lives are difficult journeys, the strength to forgive and walk on is a powerful thing! How long do we punish those who have hurt us? Their punishment will come upon them freely without our help. It is in forgiveness that we can find freedom--- a freedom our inner souls thirst for! When, one day, you feel an endless hunger One that no food will satisfy A thirst no drink will quench--- Understand it is your inner soul Telling you distinctly that it is past time to forgive.
