Forgiveness
By
John I. Blair
I start each day
Forgiving everyone I know,
And even those I do not know,
Every sin they have committed on me
(Even ones I was not told).
This takes a mighty weight
From off my soul.
Such acid flows from hate,
From anger such a danger,
I won’t condone them more
Than just a hasty moment.
I’m far too fond of life
To waste my time resenting
Someone else.
Now I can concentrate
On righting all the wrongs
For which I hold myself responsible.
