Echoes of Forgiveness

Forgive yourself for things you’ve done,
Words misspoken, battles won.
Be kind to you when times were tough,
No breaks taken, feeling rough.

Forgive the things you left unsaid,
Others’ actions, mess in your head.
Forgive for love not freely shown,
Pulling away, feeling alone.

Forgive harsh thoughts, let them slip away,
Remember your worth, let it stay.
Forgive the way they might not view,
Neglecting self, feeling askew.

Release the blame, it chains so tight,
Open your heart, let in the light.
Forgive the silence, let words sway,
Chase forgotten dreams, come what may.

Forgiveness is a path to choose,
Brings you peace, a win you’ll use.
On this journey, set your heart free,
Forgiveness blooms, let it be.
