Relief

A Christian poem about forgiveness

The whole burden of a broken heart

I have carried until now

for one reason or another

and it's coming from the Devil, a parasite

The whole yard thriving weed
of bitterness, jealousy, sorrow and anger
but all of these are equal to weakness and surrender
the Fall of human in the garden of Eden

In Christ I've made peace with you, my enemy
by forgetting the trap of your abuse
I forgive you
though your deed turned into a lawsuit
I won't remember you with resentment
though you played with my heart and money
I admitted relief for you
in the form of a child
The child as the beginning of friendship.
