Forgiveness

When tragedy or misfortune strikes

They come in many disguises.

The world all around you seems dark with despair

Your anger and bitterness rises.

Remember that nothing is ever in vain

There’s a reason for every disaster

It’s given to strengthen your spirit and faith

A lesson in living to master

You are never alone in your sorrow and grief

There are others who suffer it too

And send out their love in ways they know how

To bring comfort and healing to you

But the greatest of challenges then lies ahead

Forgive, let your bitterness cease

For those who have caused anguish and grief

Only then can you find inner peace.
