I pray for the bullies
for their pain, their anger
not knowing their stories
what they have lived through
I pray that they would
change
may they see their error
may they see the world
through their victims’ eyes
I pray forgiveness
for the bullies
those who have hurt
who have lashed out
I pray that God
would soften, change them
that they would gain
a giving heart.
