When Forgiveness Found Me

When Forgiveness Found Me

 

A nomad for love in a thirsty land

Searching for what I lack inside

The one I needed nowhere at hand

Severe pain I felt compelled to hide

 

A world of hurt I knew time and again

Now to let it go, see how it would grow

Where bitterness festers has to end

Choosing love again as seeds to sow

 

Broken now, not carry you around

The load of life is now all the lighter

Living free now joyously found 

Paths of life shine so much brighter

 

You did more for me as I've come to know

Freedom to love me first finally all mine

You taught me how to let it go

It all ends well when given to time

 

No numbness to pain in all I explore

Permission given to fall on me, break me

Freedom finally comes to love me more

To now become as earth, to be finally free

A salty mist is in the air and the verdant beauty of nature abounds everywhere. Learn more.
