UNFORGIVENESS

Unforgiveness 

Nothing is as painful, 

As unforgiveness to the soul; 

A heart that's torn asunder, 

With forgiveness becomes whole. 

A single kind word spoken 

Means more than countless words; 

The three words, "I forgive you," 

Are all that need be heard. 

To a soul that has been wounded, 

Like a healing, cooling balm; 

Forgiveness soothes and comforts, 

Till at last the soul is calm. 

For the soul that seeks forgiveness, 

When forgiveness can't be found; 

It struggles vainly everyday, 

To hear that simple sound. 

The power in those three kind words, 

Can heal a heart that's broken; 

But that heart cannot begin to heal, 

As long as words remain unspoken. 

Compassion in it's purest sense, 

Reside in those three words; 

The three words, "I forgive you," 

Are all that need be heard.
