" Forgiveness" is our latest topic for our local writers group
I found it very hard, abstract.
I based my poem ( a triolet ) on the lines from the Lord's Prayer
" Forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors "
FORGIVENESS
By grace we find forgiveness,
where grace in us is found.
Our deeds will stand as witness,
for grace to work forgiveness.
The debts we owe are countless;
why hold our debtors bound ?
By grace we give forgiveness,
and grace for us is found.
Neville Briggs.

Re: FORGIVENESS
Something we all need from time to time and Neville's triolet cleverly captures the essence.

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.
