Forgiveness! Poem by Gladys Brown Prince

Forgiveness is a very powerful tool
If we as individuals must obey God's rules
Sometimes to forgive is to swim up stream
But to be forgiven is more like a dream

Forgiveness must have meant a lot to God
Allowing His only son to die and not be sad
Is it possible to forgive hurt and not feel bad
When intense pain makes one feel like sod

Forgiveness is conscious effort on our part
To recall when or where the problem start
Know that we cannot forgive only in part
But we must forgive with our whole heart

Forgiveness is a choice given to us each day
Often we are unconscious how we get that way
If we would take a moment to stop and pray
It will be easy to say forgive me I forgive you
