Of all the life strategies that render what is fruitful,
Forgiveness by far is one of the most useful.
It is the oil that soothes & prevents friction,
A bonding agent for great benediction.
Forgiveness as moisture keeps the heart warm,
A beauty that shines with transcendent form.
Forgiveness complete the main ingredient to love,
And a way to remain attuned to the things above.
It softens the long years of a rigid tree,
And draws water back to the eternal sea.
Forgiveness opens the lips of every lover,
To kiss under an open sky without hidden cover.
Forgiveness is the key to unlock the prison door,
It is a way to kindly give from your inner core.
