Forgiveness

Forgiveness is not for you it's for me when you hurt me I forgave you so I could be free. When you hurt me again over and over I forgave you, that's why I still live!

You have reminded us of something which the world has largely forgotten. We forget how forgiveness puts to rest a restless soul. Thank you for your reminder. Thank you for this beautiful poem!
