Forgiveness

I love..
I love you...
I love you so imperfectly...
I love you, because you first loved me.

Forgive me..
Forgive me please..
Forgive me when I fall again
Forgive me, because you died for me.

Forgive them..
Forgive them all..
Forgive them all, even when it hurts
Forgive them all, and I will truly be forgiven.

I release..
I release them..
I release them into full forgiveness
I release them, for I have been forgiven much.

Author notes

I was thinking about how much God has forgiven me... I dare not withhold forgiveness from others.

In a list

There is a great need for more forgiveness in this world...

    I really liked this poem.
    I think its just much more easy to forgive others of their sins cause of the whole karma thing, which really sucks.

    I'm not a religious person myself. I mean, I believe in God but after my mother died when I was 9, I've been struggling a lot with religion and the whole aspect thereof. However, I really enjoyed this poem and find it very uplifting. I'm not sure what form it might be but I really like it. I think it adds to the overall effect of the poem. Great write!!

    I like the repetition.
    I'm not one for religious poetry but I like the fact that you didn't directly talk about God in the poem.
    nice work

    Nice write. Forgiving key is having the joy. When we are unforgiving we are become bitter.

      Thank you. Unforgiveness is a poison, and its the major contributing factor to many of the worlds problems.

    I like the concept of this poem , both how it is abridged and your words. great form and rythmn. awsome write. It is nice to have faith, we all need this to get by in life. If you don't forgive, hate will eat your soul away inside.
