The Gift Of Forgiveness

by Regina Elliott


What is an undying bestowing of pardon?
Forgiveness is a gift,
wrapped in sterling silver ribbons from
the injured.
It enters the chambers of healing hearts,
and eases the aches, the wounds.
It reverberates in celebratory trumpets
as God's voice is golden to the ears.
 
He makes forgiveness attainable,
as wanting vengeance wears down
the sorrowed psyche.
Dreams begin to become more
peaceful,
bursting with a starry brightness
fulfilling God's works of
compassion for the forgiver,
and forgiven.
 
The gift of forgiveness,
brings joyous angels' songs
that comforts and quiets anger,
oh, my departed love -
please forgive me. ~

for you is beyond eternity. ~
