To forgive, for some, is hard to do,
But I'm here to say it destroys you.
The rage just builds in your soul,
Then no peace will you ever know.
It eats at your heart until you die,
Only emptiness will you have inside.
It usually starts out very small,
Then it grows to ten foot tall.
The will to reason soon is gone,
The our hearts turn into stone.
Our imagination soon runs away,
We start believing the words we say.
Then so much love soon is lost.
What a waste, at such a cost,
To say "I'm sorry" just won't be done,
"They are wrong" says everyone.
There's only one way to let it be,
We need to go down on our knees.
So please don't wait til it's to late,
Because we all have made mistakes.
No peace in life will we ever live,
Until we learn how to forgive.
