Can it be said that the strongest people are those who forgive?
Is it not true that anger and resentment make such a task difficult?
Why should the fighters be honored above the peacemakers?
Anyone can form a fist, but few have the courage to forgive.
Words of forgiveness might come easily to some
But to most people, the words stick in their mouths,
Heavy with hatred, immersed in pain
Forgiveness is no easy task
Especially if the culprit is someone held dear
Why make the effort you might ask?
To be wrapped in a cocoon of anger and regret
Is to be withdrawn from the love of family and friends
Cut off from the joy of living with hope and love in our hearts
Forgiveness is one of the most difficult virtues to practice
But it makes life all the more enjoyable
So tear off your wrappings of anger and suffering
Forgive the ones who caused you pain
A new day is dawning
