Oh, How I wish to forgive and just forgive
So I be at peace, in relief
To target an area in heart of hopelessness
With a hand that digs out in me forgiveness
So I myself as well be granted happiness
Finding it hard due to some carelessness

I had a conversation with Jesus one night
Who he himself whispered good news in my ears
Brought about solutions to let disappear my fears
He indulged me in tunes by singing lyrical vibes of Mathew 6 verse 14
I danced to the rhythm yet never thought of stopping nor pausing
He told me forgiveness is an act of intention
An alarm or signal towards the perception of reality
Without a gun on my head but it being voluntarily

This is a tale of a line between the perpetrator and the victimized
Where the victimized abandons the negativity of emotions
Rehabilitating the perpetrator purposefully forgetting sadism
Ultimately seeing light in the tunnel of possible reconciliation
Withdrawing from the strings of hatred that has us by our tongues and fingertips
Withdrawing from future plans of vengeance

With his voice of tough love, firm but loving, told me
Forgiveness is a lifting of a burden suppressing the life within
And yet a contradiction between forgiving and forgetting
For memory and heart is photographic
For the heart is sacred than the mind controversial as it should be
For with peace seeking through introspection and
Forgiving no eye shall be prohibited to see

I may not be looking forward to calling you a friend
Or invite you for lunch or a sip of coffee
I may not be looking forward to welcoming you inside my home
Or inside my heart for that matter
But I’m definitely looking forward to letting my heart be at peace
He made me realise that we should forgive ourselves
For not forgiving others in the journey of finding healing
Emphasizing that a good heart does not await an apology
Though it taketh a good man to accept it
It taketh a great man to maketh an apology
