TO FORGIVE

Even to forgive those who are truly contrite


is often a tremendous fight


Yet to extend forgiveness in part


does not allow renewal to truly start

If forgiveness in the end does not carry the day


that which is not forgiven keeps true growth at bay


crippling relationships and darkening our sight


from basking in the unfettered rays of forgiveness's light


the desire to forgive  realigns our compass


to walk in another's shoes thus helping  us bypass


much of the pain,the anger that brought us down


and prevents any needless ego filled showdown


It is not for another when you choose to forgive


but for you ,so with the release you will truly live
