True Love's Story

Forgiveness is a mercy
whose story is profound
a hand that gives and  often lives
where gentle words abound

We see the sin of others
and look with pure disdain
we fail to see the teardrops
that fall to them like rain

If we could feel just what they do
and know their story bold
we'd know the reasons in their heart
and listen as we're told

A harsh and weary judgement
we render all too quick
we pass upon them verdict looks
a conscience that they prick

It's not to late to change this
as we turn another page
the leaf of new and softened soul
the wisdom of the sage

Forgiveness is a story
that we can make our own
a warm and hearty handshake
a place we now call home
