Analysis of Forgiveness
From ancient times
comes
The certainty
That our souls are
hurt
blood drained from
the
wound
It doesn´t stop
We walked through life
with a burden
Heavy
Bending our backs
We don´t realize
the power of
healing
It´s way back
generations in line
Waiting to feel
free from a grip
that is there
But when we realize
it´s our job
Do the right thing
and
forgive
A new
understanding
comes
We see everything
with new eyes.
