a daily struggle
in real-life living
not candy-coated
where the rubber hits the
road
the lesson of forgiveness
real, life-changing,
in the words of Christ
in repeating parables
we must forgive without
ceasing
agape love, as He had,
borne out, written,
in His words on the cross
if Christ could pray for us
dying to save us
the words indelible
written in His blood
“Father, forgive them,
forgive all of them,
they know not what they do”,
so true, for all of us,
throughout time
the lesson of forgiveness
real, life-changing,
in words of scripture
in the life of Christ.
