Forgiveness

By Mr King

Pointing my finger...

Blaming another...
Judging my sister...
Condemning my mother...

Don't I see that one are we...
Don't I see that I alone can set me free?
Don't I see the power available in taking responsibility?

For when I point my finger at another...
There are three pointing back at me!


But when I forgive my sister...
I forgive my brother...
I forgive my father...
I forgive my mother...
I forgive the government...
I forgive the President...
I forgive the fool...
I forgive the idiot...
I forgive my God...
And I forgive myself...

I set myself free!
And I allow myself to see that one are we!

I forgive and live my life...
Free to be.

Free to surf the waves...
Free to climb a tree.

Free to travel the world...
Free to sail the sea.

Free to stand up for my rights responsibly...
Free to reclaim peace and allow myself the opportunity to be happy.


There's great power in forgiveness.

    Forgiveness is the ultimate way to free yourself. We are always trapped by our negative feelings that sometimes we don't realize that the best thing we can do for anyone, even ourselves, is to let it go.
