Forgiveness is my best friend

she gives such relief

---

Finding my best friend

can be such a challange

She often hides in the corners of my mind

plays hide and seek with my heart

---

It's so hard to let go

and let her do her magic

It's easier to sit in the dark closet

holding onto anger

---

Anger is black and painful

it takes from my soul

It lies and cheats

and clings to my thoughts

It entices me

and pretends to be my salvation

---

It can feel so good

and earned

---

Pushing anger away

and running to forgiveness

Takes strength

it can escape the weak

---

Fortunately forgiveness is sweet

I always seem to find her

She wipes away my tears

and hugs my bones

She kisses me where it hurts

she gives me such relief

---

Forgiveness she is my best friend

my very very best friend...
