A shade of yesterday resigns.
As an ancient star never aligns.
To shine beyond the path it's given.
And let light in when it's forgiven.
A cosmic trail of never ending.
Lost in the mail forever sending.
An unopened message of love.
That only comes from up above.
Return to sender ever ender.
To never know a warmth so tender.
Compassion's not addressed to some.
A mailed letter that did not come.
Forgiveness lives inside forgivers.
For some, it's cirrhosis of the liver.
Till death do part straight from the heart.
For some, they just can't seem to start.
An endless longing for tomorrow.
To pay for yesterday's we borrow.
In hopes all of our dreams come true.
Before our time on earth is through.

F reedom has been granted to the offender
O ffended ones receive fresh freedoms within
R eigns of guilt and self-accusing have ended
G race has pardoned, covered, and cast away the offence
I, the offender, is liberated; I, the offended cease deliberating
V ictors who desist from holding on, are now enabled to move on
E levated to new positions of victory, forgivers sit on thrones of love
N ew normal of grace fills the empty spaces
E nemies lurking within me are then obliterated
S ins of bitterness, resentment, and revenge are gone
Salvation and a heavenly satisfaction have now arrived
