Forgiveness is my best friend
She gives such relief
Finding my best friend
can be such a challenge
She often hides in corners of my mind
plays hide and seek with my heart
I continue to search
determined to find her
---

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 so earned
---
---
Pushing anger away
and running for 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 such relief
Forgiveness she is my best friend
my very very best friend.
