Forgiveness
Forgiveness I’ve felt it
And I’ve given it,
It feels like the hardest thing to do,
but when given It burns like wild fire
transcending from the bottom to the top.
encovering the width, length, breath and depth of the heart.
Forgiveness I’ve felt it before
And I’ve given it before too
It tastes like a bitter sweet wine
Irking the taste buds with a sting of sour taste
Leaving the taste buds with an after taste of sweetness
Forgiveness I’ve felt it, withheld it, but slowly given it.
When withheld it feels like a heavy load
Weighing down your every climb
When you choose to go up or down
When withheld it pollutes the mind
Forgiveness, is better given than withheld
