We Must Learn To Forgive
By Joann Ryan-Stanley
One Of The Hardest Lessons On Earth
Is In Our Very Core
Turning Anger Into Forgiveness
And Forgiveness Into Love
Anger Can Burn With It's Great Presence
As We Go Through Our Daily Lives
It Can Overshadow Everything
If We Continue To Breath It’s Fire
It Hound’s Us In The Middle Of Our Sleep
Wakes Us Up And Makes Us Weep
And We Can Go Throughout Our Lives
Forgetting To Forgive Ourselves
The Burden Of Not Forgiving
Is Too Heavy For Our Soul
Which Cries Out Daily To Release This
Please Please Let It Go
One Day We Will Awaken
As If We Have Been Living A Bad Dream
Some Of Us Learn This Early
Others’ Later It Seems
If We Step Into The Ethers
Where Our Soul Does So Reside
And Realize This Hurt We’re Carrying
Is Eating At Our Lives
We Have A Choice
Reach Out, Forgive, Let Go Of Past Hurts Be
Your Soul Was Meant For Lightness
Not Heavy Dark And Mean
The Moment You Release
And Say The Words "I Forgive "
A Shudder Of Light And Love
Sent From God Above
Will Lighten Your Heart
And Peace Will Warm Your Soul...
