Undeserving Forgiveness

The kindness you have shown me
Everything you have done
You never needed to do
The forgiveness you have given
I never deserved
I do not deserve a friend so great
You stuck around
When the others walked away
But I fear
That soon
You’ll walk away too
Because I don’t deserve you
I never have
And I never will

Everybody deserves forgiveness. The bad is not you. It is an outside force that threatens to break us and overcome us. I love this poem. Always, Laura
