Levels Of Forgiveness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Whether you are near or far we are close together in mind and heart.
Our virtues mingle and combine, radiating the beauty of God we hold within.
Lighting up the world around us with purpose and disciplined faith, taking in stride the apoplexy of sudden strife.
Building upon the stairway to heaven, levels of forgiveness.
Combined efforts rolling together to make our world a better place.
More sublime perhaps, and that by choice, forfeiting the complacency of self for other's worth.
Lifetime berets hung upon our brow, selecting the outcome of tomorrow's blessings, whatever they may be.
