I Forgive Them

I forgive my antagonist from the beginning to end, there are so many my heart never did 
mend.

From a time way back when only I remember, left my heart chilled like the month of 
December.

I never knew why I was hazed and hassled so; so I write to forgive you so that I may let go. 
Writing of this takes me back and angers me; vivid and sharp are the memories of torture to 
me. 

Set afire one time held and beaten on another the memories I have you don’t wish on each 
other.

So I write this short verse, wishing you well without curse. 
Immersed in pain and solitude I will not be construed given the time all this happened I 
should have lost this attitude.
 
I forgive you all without a doubt leaving it in the hands of the Lord he has all my clout. 
There’s no need for me to search and take you out…

Forgiveness is God's first principle of healing, I pray his love may make you whole. My sympathy and regards.
