I pray forgiveness
for the bullies
those who have hurt
who have lashed out
I pray that God, in His
mercy,
would soften, change them
that they would gain
a more giving heart.
I pray forgiveness
for the victims, for myself,
that those who were hurt
that they would not lash out
in anger
I pray that God, in His
mercy,
would soften, change them
that they would gain
a more forgiving heart.
