Forgiveness: The Bridge to Peace

Forgiveness is a precious gift,
A balm that soothes the soul,
It's a choice we make to uplift,
And to make our hearts whole.

It's not an easy thing to do,
To let go of the pain we feel,
To offer mercy and renew,
To let love be our ideal.

But forgiveness is a bridge,
That helps us cross the divide,
It's a way to heal the hurtful ridge,
And to find the peace inside.

For when we choose to forgive,
We break the chains that bind,
We let go of the hurt and live,
And to freedom, we unbind.

So let us choose to forgive,
And to let our hearts be free,
For in forgiveness, we can live,
And be the best we can be.

For life is too short to hold a grudge,
To carry the weight of anger and rage,
Let's choose to forgive and not judge,
And to live with love on the center stage.
