Forgiveness
I have forgiven the unforgivable
And betrayed myself to do it
I have exonerated the guilty, without the right
Believing I knew best
I have excused the inexcusable
To make excuses for myself
I have pardoned the unworthy
To set them free of guilt
I have accepted burdens, to free others
Then passed them on unthinkingly
I even forgave God for not being there
Every time I looked
But if I, myself, cannot forgive
Then who shall do it for me?
I didn't write this poem, I don't know who made it, but I think it was good for the beginning because this story is all about forgiveness.
