Power to Forgive

Forgiveness, a mirror to reality’s face,  

What’s done is done, no trace to erase…

Why let the past cast its shadow today,  

When tomorrow promises a brighter way?

.

A humble act, yet powerful and profound,  

It lifts the burden, the chains unbound…  

Anger and bitterness, like shadows, recede,  

It loosens the emotional tide, heart’s freed…

.

Wounds are sealed, and healing begins,

Moving forward, the heart and soul spin…

Relationships mend, mutual trust revives,

Understanding blooms, and love survives…

.

Liberation’s sense, peace does impart,

Inner calm, a clear heart and mind start…

For those affected, and those who care,

Forgiveness is an easy gift for all to share…

.

Yet, it’s not so easy, courage is the key,

With conviction, self-reflection, empathy…

To be brave, to release, and to forgive,

Is strength itself, where true hearts live…

.

Not all can forgive, but those who do,

Find peace, the heart is renewed anew…

So let forgiveness be our guiding light,

In the darkness, shining with all its might…
