Forgiveness

Oh how you hurt my feelings

You tried to take from me

With your hurtful dealings

My sense of dignity

At first I thought you were the cause

Of making me feel small

You bit me with your toothy jaws

You burned me with fireball

I can’t deny your wrong assault

I can’t forget the pain

Your vicious sins are not my fault

My nature I restrain

I will not live with hatred

Or vengeance in my soul

I give forgiveness sacred

Of this you can’t control

Even though you haven’t asked

From me exoneration

For your actions in the past

My heart feels less frustration

May be you’re a child who’s lost

You haven't grown up yet

I pray you’ll understand the cost

That paid for all our debt.
