In moments of anger and bitter strife,
When hurt and pain consume our life,
It's easy to let our hearts grow cold,
And hold onto grudges that never grow old.

But the weight of anger is heavy to bear,
A burden that crushes and doesn't repair,
It takes forgiveness to lighten the load,
To heal the wounds and mend the broken road.

Forgiveness is not a sign of weakness or defeat,
But a gesture of strength, a choice to meet,
The challenge of moving beyond the pain,
And finding peace and love once again.

It takes courage to forgive and let go,
To break the chains of anger and woe,
But the reward is a heart that's free,
A spirit that's light, and a soul that's at ease.

So when we face moments of hurt and strife,
Let's choose forgiveness and renew our life,
For in forgiveness lies the power to heal,
To find love and joy, and make wounds seal.
