Forgiveness And Love Poem by louis rams

JESUS had shown us how to forgive and love
Even at deaths door he said:"forgive them
For they know not what they do " and continued
To love them as his life on earth was through.

Even at the times that we are abused and feel weak
We must learn to turn the other cheek.
We have to forgive ourselves before we can forgive others
And to always remember we are all sisters and brothers.

Once you learn forgiveness, love will then come and you
Will share it with each and every one.
Hatred and forgiveness can not live in the same place
And that is a fact that we must face.

Forgiveness is the oxygen of life and goes hand in hand with love
As the stars with the nights above. Let us not wait until the end
To ask for forgiveness of family and friends.
TO FORGIVE IS UPLIFTING
TO LOVE IS DIVINE
