Three Divine Words
If words can kill
If words can heal
If the pen is mightier still
Then they must be as real
If men are caged
By men enraged
If grudges old as time
Can spin a web without rhyme
or reason and ensnare
themselves in their lair..
And if this is the cruel face
Of a distorted human race
Then there must be a way free
A divine key
If you can find it within you
To find God within you
To undo this slimy web
To put down this gun to your head
And say..
Three short words..
That open the cage
set free the birds..
That turn the page..
Three words that allow
Allow you to
Breathe...
Breathe..
That flood you with the kind of peace
Peace
Only God can bestow..
then
just say them
and mean them..
and
fly
i forgive you

So so true and beautifully put as usual.
your writing is out of this world.
I mentioned this anecdote already, once a famous speaker asked a big crowd what are the 3 most important words in a marriage. most of the people answered I LOVE YOU
he said, wrong! the 3 words are "I am sorry!"
and u are right "I forgive you" matches that too
Oh,if we could learn the value of true forgiveness...
So many times, we say to someone "forget it, it's cool," when it isn't. We're not just harming them, we're harming ourselves...

precisely why I dont like anonymous posting..but a few people clamored for me to allow it..
so there it is..
yah, that's something i gotta work on... forgiving others...
holding onto grudges is so painful, but actually fogiving is often even harder...
cuz, as someone mentioned previously, you first have to forgive youself....
