Dear Forgiveness,

Its time for me to face you. My heart is so bitter and I don’t know how to embrace you.

Dear Forgiveness,

I’m sick and tired of holding a grudge, but the venom in my heart won’t budge.

Dear Forgiveness

I’m wrestling with an inner beast. Is it true that hugging you will bring me peace.

Dear Forgiveness,

My soul is plagued by rebellion and strife. I’ve been stabbed in the back by betrayal’s knife.

Dear Forgiveness,

The lack of you in my life speaks loud. I know we should kiss and make up, but I’m far too proud.

Dear Forgiveness,

I think I want to go steady with you. I’m headed for you because I think I’m ready for you.

Dear Forgiveness,

I want you to drain me of poison so that I may be my best and at night I’ll get rest from life’s unforgiving test.

Dear Forgiveness,

Come into my heart. Put me back together when I fall apart and give me a brand new start.

Dear Forgiveness,

Lead me in the direction you wish for me to move toward so I can move forward.

Dear Forgiveness,

I don’t have all the answers to what I should I do, but one thing I know for certain is that I want you.
