Forgiveness is a release
Of your own judgment
A burden that you put on yourself
A mind in constant turmoil
Forgiveness is healing
Restores the love between God’s sons
The trick made to divide is thwarted
The devil’s plot has been foiled
To say “I forgive you”
Is a gift you give yourself
Is salvation of your tired and weary mind
From the ugly clouds of blame and shame
To say “All is forgiven”
One would be seeing what’s already done
For every one of God’s beloved sons
And we shall be free of the devil’s game
All is forgiven
For those who believe, they see
There is no need to blame others
For there is no punishment to be feared
All is forgiven
For those who believe, they see
There is no reason to attack or defend
For it’s justification has disappeared
Forgiveness is a gift to ourselves
Saving the mind from it’s self made hell
Releasing the dark clouds of our judgment
A mind full of belief in guilt is set free
Forgiveness is the key
To unlock the prison of our own making
For we are only trapped as long as we
Refuse to use the forgiveness key

Superbly written, awesome thoughts, easy flow and a beautiful inspirational message sent out to the world. I totally agree, forgiveness is the way we should all be. We all wish for it, therefore, we should also give it unto others.
I am glad I read this, it is the BOMB.
