Mandela, Forgive Us
Mandela, forgive us— When Robben Island set you free after twenty-seven winters, You stepped into sunlight and showed us the way. You taught us peace when the world expected vengeance, You offered us hope when our hearts were torn. Your vision was a land reborn, A South Africa dignified, A rainbow nation rising beyond its past. You told us to do better— But oh,...

Forgive Me
It’s so strong The urges The addiction Weak in what merges Me To only have to ask to forgive me Perfection is far from me No it’s Not easy to admit But the truth isn’t hard to see But you’re still here With me Your patience is authentic Seeing the pain in your eyes When I ask and do Embarrassed is my truth Yet I still go...

Premium Member Always Forgive Your Enemies
To arms! Many arms were waving, wildly flailing in the air Incensed as if there'd been bowling pins missed for a spare Screaming and ranting about things that didn't seem fair Oh puhlease! As if it matters or as if anyone gives a care If the truth were to be told, then everyone should confess and state unequivocally that they...

Premium Member Forgive me
I fell. Not with a cry, nor with glory, but as a cross falls from the chest of one who forgot how to believe. I fell on a Wednesday, when the rain smelled of raw fish, and the hurried world drew its umbrellas like mantles of indifference. No one saw me. They were busy with their bicycles, with their phones, with their eyes, which no longer weep, but...

We Have The Ability To Forgive
We have the ability to forgive— Like wind that moves through trembling leaves, It asks no permission, It seeks no reply, It simply flows, unseen. Forgiveness is a hush in the heart, A candle in the night— Flickering, but alive. It softens sharp voices, And turns hard faces into water. It is the hand that lifts the stone, Then lets it go. It is the quiet sun...

Forgive me
Forgive me or penalise if you wish to. Remain not, a stoic and lemme take in every breath of guilt. The guilt, so monstrous, always conniving to destroy my peace If only, that's the act of vengeance you seek....

Premium Member Forgive me, childhood, sweet mirage of lost time
Forgive me, childhood, sweet mirage of lost time, When I ran through fields with dreams tied to the blue sky, There was a time when I believed your days were endless, But the desire to grow up blinded me with its deceptive brilliance. I was naive and didn't realize that every moment is a gift, I wanted to embrace the...

FORGIVE
Forgive the day, the sun did not shine, for we needed the cloud to bring the rain. Forgive the mother and father, that was not perfect, for they loved you with all they had. Forgive the friend who hurt you, for they were misunderstood. Forgive the wife and husband who left you, for they did...

FORGIVE DON'T BE A FOOL
