What Could Be Worse Could Be Better

…because liberty did not retreat or surrender, 
until it made it to redemption, 
freedom had chance to break the chains of bondage. 

That courage said no to danger, faith in return got free of doubt, 
and forgiveness looked into the eyes of vengeance with deep compassion, 
what could be worse could be better.
