Forgiveness is not easy
at any age we try,
for we often carry with us
harsh feelings til we die.
It takes a little patience,
and it takes a hurting heart
that wants to reconcile
what tears you both apart.
Is the person who hurt you,
important in your life?
What do you gain or lose
by keeping up the strife?
It takes an honest soul
willing to look inside
and own part of the blame,
while swallowing one’s pride.
There must be restitution
and a need to apologize,
a mindset toward acceptance
and a want to compromise.
We all need forgiveness,
to feel peace within;
Even God will forgive us
when we stumble and sin.
If God who is Holy
can accept us when we fall,
why should we hesitate
to tear down a wall?
