FORGIVENESS

Sometimes we may find it hard
To forgive those who've done wrong
We do our best to try and help
Though they choose to carry on

With words being said and actions done
Not seeing the damage unfold
Destruction is certain in more ways than one
They're blind to what they've been told

Lives are changed with feelings hurt
Left in uncertain despair
Not knowing when those wrongs will catch up
To the ones of whom they care

For some it may be just a short time
Before they admit they were wrong
Then ask forgiveness and try to change
Working their best to belong

A few might go on for quite some time
Then tire of how they live
Reflecting back to the ones who have tried
Hoping there's still time to forgive

Others cotinue 'til sometimes too late
The worth of life means nothing
Forgiveness for them is too far from reach
Caring not for the help they're denying

For many forgiveness means more than life
It benefits those involved
Rebuilding relationships and state of mind
Forgiveness gives strength to all
