Forgiveness Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

A friend of mine wrote this.

I look into your eyes and what do I see, Love.
A Love so pure, unblemished by sin or motive
Love so unfailing that no matter what I do you will
Always love me.
Then I look down to see a hammer in one hand
And a nail in the other
I can’t stop my self as I place the nail at your wrist and strike
I still see that same love unchanged and I wonder if this can be
That you love us so much that you would still love me after I
Nail you to this tree.
I don't understand this love
I will test it to be true
I will cause you such pain that you will never want to love again
So I continue to strike but this time with no remorse
I want to prove you to be the fraud I know you are
So I strike with all my might
You cry out in pain, but you still have that love in you eyes
That infuriates me even more
So we hoist you up and drop you in the hole
We laugh as you cry out in agony
But you look down on me with that same love
I start to cry, ashamed by what I have done
But you look at my and say "I love you so much that I will die in agony for you"
I begin to cry even harder
Then you look up and say, " forgive them for they know not want they do"
I lost it, I ran back to the barracks
Then I heard that you rose again three days later
That confirmed my deepest fear that you were God on earth
I weep for days until you came to see me
You came through my door
I fell at you feet and pleaded for forgiveness
You said that you have and always loved me
I promised to serve you the rest of my days
You said I will be with you always
After that day I have always know you loved me
Would never leave me

I find writing to be so opposite to whom I am. I did miserably at English as any of my proof readers or profs could tell you. My thoughts of sitting in one place for periods of time do not give me chills of excitement. However, I have found great satisfaction in allowing my thoughts to be found in the release of writing. I have been able to share some of my deeper emotions through my poems and this has been a wonderful creative process for me! Thanks to TIG for the opportunity.

when you truely love someone, no matter how bad that person treats you, you would still stay by their side and love them.
