I say I forgive them – v2

I say I forgive them

for the hurt they caused me

I have spoken it often

I pray it frequently

driving down from Houlton;

but what would I say

if they were standing before me

what if they saw me in church

or down at Debbie’s,

would I say I forgive them

is they were right in my face?

How do I react, my body,

my blood vessels,

when I see a status update

their picture on Facebook

or words on Twitter

I say I forgive them

but is the wound still open

not yet scar tissue

smooth to the touch.
