Forgiveness is a conscious choice

It must begin first in your head

In an aware and planned way

Sometimes change engenders dread

Sincerity involves the heart

Need to realize time to let go

Monsters live and thrive in the dark

Pain involved in having to grow

Prison caused by anger and hurt

Trust is not something that is free

Forgiveness is a conscious decision

Trust is destroyed for you and me

Will never be okay, never

Forgiving does not mean to say

What was done then, is now okay

Wasn't right when it was done

Forever it will not be right

Forgiveness does not change the past

Does not erase what was done then

The years are passing too fast

No consent for enabling

Time to move on with living

Thoughts are ever turning backward

Have been thinking of forgiving

When I have it all worked out

I shall write for you a letter

Leaving it for you to read

When I am gone, this is better
