Forgiveness, a gift so divine
Heals the heart, and soothes the mind
A balm for wounds, a calm for fears
A path to peace, through all the tears
It\'s not forgetting, nor is it ignoring
The pain inflicted, or the hurt enduring
But rather, it\'s letting go of the weight
That binds us to bitterness, and endless debate
Forgiveness frees us from the chains of pain
And releases love, like sweet, summer rain
It\'s a choice we make, a decision to take
To let go of anger, and the heart\'s ache
With forgiveness, we find peace of mind
And a sense of calm, that we\'d left behind
our hearts, once heavy, now feel light
As love and compassion, take flight
So let us choose forgiveness, every day
And let its power, show us the way
For in forgiving, we find our own release
And a sense of freedom, that brings us to our knees
