We forgive,Â
Not because another requires it,
But because our souls demand it.
Â
Forgiveness is like a tonic,
Soothing away the pain of a wrong done.
Â
We forgive to heal,
We forgive to repair,
We forgive to live again.
Â
Where once we were trapped,
We become freed.
Where once we were held back,
We move forward even stronger.
Â
We forgive to heal ourselves,
We forgive to let go,
We forgive,Â
Because forgiveness given
Is forgiveness received,
And we deserve forgiveness.
Â
We forgive them,Â
We pardon them,Â
We let go of the pain.
