All human beings have many,
Different and deep traits,
But forgiveness is the best of all,
It opens up the gate.
Throughout the years of history,
Few things were ever planned,
But the spirit of forgiveness,
Was always in demand.
So many wrongful actions,
Have ever taken place,
If we forgot forgiveness,
We’d be a hating race.
But if we learn forgiveness,
To those that hurt us yet,
It means you have forgiven,
It does not mean forget.
For to forget would be so wrongful,
And we are left to yearn,
The lessons of past evils,
That man should really learn.
Yes, even though deeds forgiven,
The hurt will still remain,
We may learn to accept,
But never lose the pain.
Although at times so difficult,
To forgive and not to hate,
But hate is such an evil thing,
It forever locks the gate.
The gate of human kindness,
Must always be ajar,
So others can just enter,
No matter from how far.
When we learn forgiveness,
We also learn to love,
The greatest of emotions,
Direct form God above.
For God himself has told us,
To simply love each other,
The simple way to just do that,
Is treat all round as brother.
But with love comes requirement,
To learn just to forgive,
So forgive the one that hurts you,
And learn just how to live.
