Forgiveness

Forgiveness

 We forget to forgive because how can we give up being right

We forget to forgive because being right seems to be the light

When the darkness ensues and results in a never ending fight

 We still  forget to forgive if we think we have the might

How quickly light and dark are misunderstood

Forgiving is not weakness but the power  of good

To forgive is not to  excuse

but an active choice of what energy to use

a realization of whats at stake and what we could lose

Forgiving is not for anyone but  you

For then you move on and live life true

those who choose to remain stuck in some past

Will not be an influence whose power will last

To err is human to forgive is to aspire

To live a life that G-D  has destined to inspire

Redemption's Tent

I lament for our nation's greatest loss

Our Temple that kept our focus on the "Boss"

Wherever we were we knew our heart

To bloom in the land of our Divine start

A lighthouse of greatness with a light Divine

Hope for all nations to unite and allow the world to shine

But we missed the good in all but a like minded few

choosing a view which was no longer true

Causeless Hatred darkened the day

and in its wake we lost our way

the privilege of a Temple from above

was retracted despite the eternal love

The tears of destruction became an imposing Tidal Wave

that chased us from generation to generation without a save

Against all odds we succeed where others fail

.With G-D as so much more than our chainmail

No matter the travail we take the knocks and always prevail

So although we now still lament

We draw strength from miracles that are sent

Knowing that our souls are never spent

For even darkest night with its greatest dent

Is the harbinger of morning light,Redemption's Tent
