I Forgive You

Saxon Crow

In the silence all alone

Thoughts of you touch my soul

For every hurt said or done

By me or you, well I let them go

You see, it's a road we were walking on

just for a while

And that was twenty years ago

But still crowding my mind

I forgive you 

There now it's done

All the burden I carried 

In my heart has now gone

I wish you well on the journey of yours

Be free of any obligation and debt we incurred

And to myself well I forgive you too

You tried your best 

But sometimes you lose

And that's ok so don't take it so bad

It's a part of this life and some lessons 

are hard

Just let it all go you don't need so much weight

The soul is a whisper not to be pulled down by pain

And all it takes are three simple words

With a meaning so deep

That is everywhere heard

I forgive you

Now let it all go

The best kind of love

That you can give any soul

    There is something freeing and pure and unshackling about forgiveness to the forgiver that is quite under rated in our contemporary worldview. Thanks for sharing.

  • dusk arising

    The burden of unforgiving is too heavy to carry. It is a cloud around the sunshine, a shadow bespoiling our fulfillment.
    Forgiving is as much a gift we give ourselves as it is to the other party. Indeed it will often be a gift for us alone. But those near to us will benefit tebfold from our new freedom of spirit.

    An enlightening post.
